Borewell water quality and motor monitoring based on IoT gateway

Abstract

As increase in population and over exploitation of water, groundwater level has decreased, people in the world face water crisis. India is an agarian country, farmers depend on groundwater, but to their disappointment there is irregular distribution of rainfall and failure of monsoon. So they are forced to drill borewells to greater depths and depend on it. Majority of people living in urban areas are dependent on borewells as there is no other alternative for water. The advancements in technology like Internet of Things, Cloud computing, Big Data, Internet facility can be used to design a system to monitor these immense important borewells to overcome disadvantages like poor quality drinking water, increased manpower requirements, irreversible damage caused to poorly monitored public motors. Design and development of monitoring pH, turbidity in the water and monitoring motor temperature and current in borewells would be of great use. Also borewells are not centrally monitored leading to dry run out or breakdown of the motor. Borewells are the vital source of water for the people in most of the towns and almost all cities to accomplish their basic requirements of a day. The system has two sensors for namely turbidity and pH sensor to check water quality and temperature sensor and current sensor for motor monitoring, Single microcontroller chip, a wifi chip is used to send the data of various borewells to a single sever. Thus by this system it is possible to monitor multiple borewells in a township remotely in a single mobile application.
