WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS FOR WATER QUALITY MONITORING

Abstract

In our cities, many times we see that the garbage bins or dustbins placed at public places are overflowing. It creates unhygienic conditions for people. Also, it creates ugliness to that place.At the same time bad smell is also spread.To avoid all such situations, we have implemented a project called GSM based smart dustbins for smart cities.In this, dustbin is interfaced with microcontroller-based system having IR wireless system. If the dustbin is loaded with garbage, the status will be displayed on the screen. If the garbage is not collected in specific time, then SMS will be sent to the person informing that dustbin is not cleaned yet. At the same time, status report will be updated so that the sweeper for contractor responsible for the cleanliness can be question for the delay..Hence an automatic system can be designed to maintain the city Clean with the help of electronics. However, we see that in case there is some festival or some function, lots of garbage material is generated by people in that particular area. In such cases the garbage dustbin gets immediately full and then it overflows which creates many problems. So, in situations, with help of our project the government authority person can get SMS immediately. So, they will get SMS before their periodic interval visit of picking up the dustbin. Then they can go and pick up the dustbins. After every pick-up interval the dustbins will be under servicing, while every dustbin’s individual battery will be charged under the guidance of NMC.
