| Summary: | Input Traditionally, water quality was tested by collecting the
samples of water and experimentally analyzing it in the
laboratories. However, in today’s world, where time is the
scarcest resource available and industrialization and economy is
growing rapidly, the traditional method of water quality testing is
not applicable anymore. To tackle the issue, several electronic
(microcontroller and sensor based) water quality monitoring
systems were developed in the past decade. However, as most of
these systems were studied, besides their strengths, each of them
have their own limitations to be taken into consideration.
Therefore, an automatic, remote, portable, real time, and low cost
water quality monitoring system has been developed. This
system consists of a self-made Arduino microcontroller, multiple
sensors, GSM module, LCD display screen, and alarm system.
The water quality data is read from the physical world through
the water quality testing sensors and sent to microcontroller. The
data is then analyzed by the microcontroller and the result is
displayed on the LCD screen on the device itself. Another copy
of the sensor readings is sent remotely to the water quality
monitoring user’s mobile phone in the form of SMS. When an
abnormal water quality parameter is detected by any sensor, the
alarm system will turn on the respective red LED for that
parameter and the buzzer will give warning sound. At the same
time, the abnormality of the water parameter is reported to the
user through SMS. The system has been designed so that it can
be used for wide applications and by all kinds of users. |
