IV. DESIGN The reference electrode is positioned in a reference solution
1] Turbidity Sensor: of fixed pH and is thus maintained at a constant voltage
against which the voltage of the measuring electrode can be
measured. The measuring element is a thin glass membrane
that is permeable by H+ ions. When the probe is immersed in
an H+ rich environment (acidic) the glass membrane is
permeated by the H+ ions which exert a positive potential on
the sensing electrode. Thus a potential difference is produced
which indicates the pH of the solution.

1. 1] In order to monitor quality of water in various sites,
future works can be focused on establishing a system with
more sensor nodes and more base stations. Nodes and base
stations are connected as WSN, the different base stations are
connected via Ethernet. The Ethernet can also be connected to
internet so the user can just login to the system and get a real
time water quality data faraway.
2] The data transceiver is integrated in Zigbee and is
programmable. Finally, the prototype system with a single
sensor node and base station is designed and implemented.
Real-time water quality data can be seen from a GUI window
in PC. The system has advantages such as low carbon
emission, low power consumption, more flexible to deploy
C. Turbidity Output and so on. Connections between nodes and base station are
via WSN, while connections among different base stations are
via Ethernet. The Ethernet can also be connected to Internet
so that users can login to the system and get real time water
quality data faraway Process Improvement

VI. CONCLUSION
Thus by implementing our project we can efficiently
monitor the water at low cost. This method offers low power
consumption with high reliability. The use of high power
WSN is suitable for activities in industries involving large
area monitoring such as manufacturing, constructing, mining
etc. Another important fact of this system is the easy
installation of the system where the base station can be placed
at the local system where the base station can be placed at the
local residence close to the target area and the monitoring task
can be done by any person with minimal training at the
beginning of the system installation.
