Real-Time River Water Quality Monitoring
And Control System
Problem Statement:
Due to the fast growing urbanization supply of safe drinking water is a
challenge for the every city authority. Water can be polluted at any time. So
the water we reserve in the water tank at our roof top or basement in our
society or apartment may not be safe. Still in India most of the people use
simple water purifier that is not enough to get surety of pure water. Sometimes
the water has dangerous particles or chemical mixed and general purpose
water purifier cannot purify that. And it’s impossible to check the quality of
water manually in every time. So an automatic real-time monitoring system is
required to monitor the health of the water reserved in our water tank of the
society or apartment. So it can warn us automatically if there is any problem
with the reserved water. And we can check the quality of the water anytime
and from anywhere.
❖ What are the objectives?
● To measure various chemical and physical properties of water like
pH, temperature and particle density of water using sensors.
● Send the data collected to a Raspberry Pi, show the data in
display and send it to a cloud based Database using
Wired/Wireless Channel.
● Trigger alarm when any discrepancies are found in the water
quality.
● Data visualization and analysis using cloud based visualization
tools.
❖ What are the purposes?
➢ The main aim is to develop a system for continuous monitoring of
river water quality at remote places using wireless sensor
networks with low power consumption, low-cost and high
detection accuracy.
❖ Who does the problem affect?
➢ There is a strong tie between the river water quality deterioration
and water borne diseases. High incidence of water borne
diseases means having high mortality rates which is very
important problem
❖ What are the boundaries of the problem?
➢ Businesses and Households without access to the sewage
network due to the low rate of investment and lack of political
interest
❖ What are the resources?
➢ To develop a system for real time quality assessment for water
health at residential places using Raspberry Pi. Sensors are used
to gather different parameters in River water to monitor water
health in real time.
➢ IoT integrated big data analytics is appeared to be a better
solution as reliability, scalability, speed, and
❖ Why is it important that we fix the problem?
➢ Keeping rivers and lakes clean is the duty of every citizen as they
are the source of our drinking water and food production. Once
these water streams are polluted, there is hardly a way out.
