Water Quality Detection using cost-effective sensors based on IoT

Abstract

Polluted water may cause a variety of diseases in humans and animals, affecting the ecosystem's life cycle. Owing to the great worldwide demand for water, the examination of water quality must be put into consideration. To ensure a constant supply of fresh water, this quality must be checked regularly. With an up-to-date advancement in communications, sensors, and IoT technologies, the whole problems accompanied by monitoring water deterioration have already been tackled. In the present work, a proposed smart and low-cost, high-efficiency IoT appliance water quality detected device that continuously checks for pH, TDS, temperature, and turbidity water quality parameters. Forty tests of water samples were collected from four groups of different sources were used to evaluate the created model for water sample that is safe for drinking and Water Quality Index classified as drinking purpose. The framework's Wi-Fi module sends data from the sensors to the Arduino, which then sends the data to the cloud and displays it on a mobile/webpage application. This framework can maintain a close eye on water asset pollution and can provide a successful scenario for suitable drinking water or not using a WQI analysis of the water sample. In contrast, this allows for a water quality standard that is well regulated.
