Water quality monitoring system with parameter based water usage suggestion

Abstract

In recent times water pollution has increased by manifolds due to the rise of industries and people’s apathy towards nature. This problem is especially seen in economically disadvantaged countries like Bangladesh. The different regulatory authorities in Bangladesh are struggling to monitor all of the natural water bodies for pollution. Thus, the water bodies are being used by people for farming, household chores, etc regardless of the state of said water bodies. In this paper, a low-cost remote water quality monitoring system that will suggest water usage based on certain water-health parameters is developed. The data regarding the water body is stored in the cloud. Moreover, the paper also explores the functionality of the system by testing it on two separate lakes. The system relies on a network of sensors and IoT to achieve its desired function.
