Cloud based analysis of Drinking Water quality parameters

Abstract

The contamination of water bodies becomes a very big threat to the world. This happens due to pollution, domestic and industry waste and over population. This threat will lead to low rainfall, famines etc. In recent years, the research on monitoring and analyzing water quality is increasing. The water quality has to be examined in people living area, ponds, lakes, rivers and also the water bodies near the industries. People not having safe drinking water will lead to many diseases. The older methods of officials collecting sample from the water bodies, analyzing in labs, providing the results and taking control actions will be costly and takes more time. The main disadvantage is the lack of real time data analysis is not possible in the traditional systems. In this paper, a real time water quality method is analyzed and the results are verified with the traditional methods. This method uses high level processor, sensors, networking and measurement devices to give the real time data. The important parameters of water like temperature, turbidity and pH levels are monitored continuously. The user can verify the data anywhere anytime using the web interface provided in the method. The data analysis is also provided in tabulation and graphical representations. This paper provides an optimal method for monitoring the water quality in an efficient way. Traditional methods that rely on collecting water samples, testing and analyses in water laboratories are not only costly but also lack the capability for real-time data capture, analyses and fast dissemination of information to relevant stakeholders for making timely and informed decisions.
