Abstract

Monitoring the Hydrogen Potential of a River in the Central Andes of Peru From the Cloud

Highlights

  • Since time immemorial, rivers have transported the waste generated by different human activities (Zhang et al, 2021)

  • An electronic system was implemented, comprising: DS18B20 temperature sensor, 4502C pH sensor, ESP32 controller, NEO 6M GPS global positioning system, LabVIEW NXG platform, in addition to the web server developed in ThingSpeak

  • The rivers of Latin America are polluted with toxic elements due to emerging pollutants, these pollutants increased in the last decade, as mentioned in the work on the review of pollutants in river waters that circulate in urban areas carried out by Peña-Guzmán et al (2019), who found in numerous investigations carrier out in Brazil and Mexico that the main pollutants in the river are pharmaceutical and personal hygiene products, as well as effluents from wastewater treatment plants

Summary

Introduction

Rivers have transported the waste generated by different human activities (Zhang et al, 2021). Water has a high purification capacity, either due to its natural cycle or by microorganisms that improve resilience, making it suitable for plant cultivation (Falkenmark & Wang-Erlandsson, 2021; Liu et al, 2020). The longer the crossing of a river through cities is the more exposed to pollution, many times due to the lack of laws that protect it or due to the fact that sewage is not adequately treated (Bruce et al, 2020). In Latin America and the Caribbean, there is a high dependence on the food irrigated with the water from rivers. To achieve sustainable development, it is important to improve water quality and governance, integrating with the technological systems that allow monitoring its quality (Mahlknecht et al, 2020)
