IoT-Enabled Chlorine Level Assessment and Prediction in Water Monitoring System Using Machine Learning

Abstract

The significance of user participation in sustaining drinking water quality and assessing other factors, such as cleanliness, sanitary conditions, preservation, and waste treatment, is essential for preserving groundwater quality. Inadequate water quality spreads disease, causes mortality, and hinders socioeconomic growth. In addition, disinfectants such as chlorine and fluoride are used to remove pathogens, or disease-causing compounds, from water. After a substantial amount of chlorine has been added to water, its residue causes an issue. Since the proposed methodology is intended to offer a steady supply of drinkable water, its chlorine concentration must be checked in real-time. The suggested model continually updates the sensor hub regarding chlorine concentration measurements. In addition, these data are transmitted over a communication system for data analysis to analyze chlorine levels within the drinking water and residual chlorine percentage over time using a fuzzy set specifically using a decision tree algorithm. Additionally, a performance investigation of the proposed framework is undertaken to determine the efficiency of the existing model for predicting the quantity of chlorine substance employing metrics such as recall, accuracy, F-score, and ROC. Henceforth, the proposed model has substantially better precision than the existing techniques.
