Water Quality Monitoring System

This document discusses the design of an IoT-based water quality monitoring system. The system uses sensors to measure parameters like pH, turbidity, temperature, and flow. The sensor values are transmitted remotely to a Raspberry Pi controller using ZigBee protocol. Finally, the sensor data can be viewed on an internet browser application using cloud computing. The system aims to provide scientifically valid water quality information, describe variability in parameters, evaluate standards attainment, and identify potential problems in watersheds. It uses pH, turbidity, temperature, and flow sensors along with an Arduino Uno microcontroller.

Introduction

Measuring and looking after our water resource is a hot topic worldwide. Governments,
Councils, Water Authorities, Companies and individuals all are increasing their efforts to help
protect this resource. EU Legislation around monitoring landfills, nitrate levels and the water
framework directive has been introduced to help guide water quality monitoring. Aqua read’s
range of water quality instruments are all suitable for spot, short and long-term deployments and
are a popular choice for companies as they continue to increase their focus and monitoring
practices to protect water quality globally.

To ensure the safe supply of drinking water the quality should be monitor in real time. For that
purpose new approach IOT based water quality monitoring has been proposed. Below presenting
the design of IOT base quality monitoring system that monitor the quality of water in real time.
This system consist some sensors which measure the water quality parameters such as (pH,
turbidity, Temperature, Flow). The measure values transmitted remotely to the core controller
that is raspberry pi using ZigBee protocol. Finally sensor data can view on internet browser
application using cloud computing.
Objectives
 Provide scientifically defensible WQ information for decision-makers
 Describe variability in WQ parameters
 Evaluate standards attainment for individual waterbodies
 Develop target parameters and values Identify potential problems in watersheds for
further study

Hardware Devices
PH sensor:
The pH of a solution is the measure of the acidity or alkalinity of that solution. The pH scale is a
logarithmic scale whose range is from 0-14 with a neutral point being 7. Values above 7 indicate
a basic or alkaline solution and values below 7 would indicate an acidic solution. It operates on
5V power supply and it is easy to interface with Arduino. The normal range of pH is 6 to 8.5.

Turbidity sensor:
Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of water. Turbidity has indicated the degree at which the
water loses its transparency. It is considered as a good measure of the quality of water. Turbidity
blocks out the light needed by submerged aquatic vegetation. It also can raise surface water
temperatures above normal because suspended particles near the surface facilitate the absorption
of heat from sunlight.

Temperature sensor:
Water Temperature indicates how water is hot or cold. This temperature sensor is digital type
which gives accurate reading.

Flow sensor:

Flow sensor is used to measure the flow of water through the flow sensor. This sensor basically
consists of a plastic valve body, a rotor and a Hall Effect sensor. The pinwheel rotor rotates when
water / liquid flows through the valve and its speed will be directly proportional to the flow rate.
The Hall Effect sensor will provide an electrical pulse with every revolution of the pinwheel
rotor.

Arduino Uno:

Arduino is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P. It has 14 digital input/output pins
(of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, a USB
connection, a power jack, an ICSP header and a reset button. It contains everything needed to
support the microcontroller. Arduino Software (IDE) were the reference versions of Arduino,
now evolved to newer releases. The Uno board is the first in a series of USB Arduino boards,
and the reference model for the Arduino platform; for an extensive list of current, past or
outdated boards see the Arduino index of boards.
