System
The control unit of this project is the Arduino UNO, which interfaces with various sensors,
including a temperature sensor, pH sensor, turbidity sensor, and ultrasonic sensor.
Additionally, an ESP8266 Wi-Fi module and an LCD display are connected to the Arduino
UNO. The Arduino continuously monitors water quality parameters and transmits the
collected data to the Blynk application via the ESP8266 module while simultaneously
displaying it on the LCD. The recorded data is periodically updated on a server, enabling
remote access from anywhere in the world.
This project utilizes an Arduino microcontroller programmed using embedded C within the
Arduino IDE. The UNO V2 is an enhanced Arduino Uno board integrated with an
ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, eliminating the need for complex firmware configurations and
messy wiring. The Blynk ESP8266 library simplifies Wi-Fi connectivity, facilitating
seamless communication between the Arduino and the Blynk IoT 2.0 application. The
UNO V2 supports both C and C++ programming, making it easy to establish a connection
with the Blynk app. Users can control and monitor the system via a mobile phone,
provided a Wi-Fi connection is available.
This IoT-based water quality monitoring system incorporates a Total Dissolved Solids
(TDS) meter, water turbidity sensor, DS18B20 temperature sensor, and pH sensor. Each
sensor plays a crucial role in assessing specific water quality parameters, ensuring
effective monitoring of liquid conditions in various environments.
TDS Meter
A pH sensor determines the acidity or alkalinity of water, which is crucial for maintaining
a stable environment for aquatic life and ensuring suitability for industrial and agricultural
use. Proper pH balance affects chemical reactions and biological processes in water
systems.
Ultrasonic Sensor
The ESP8266 is a self-contained Wi-Fi module with an integrated TCP/IP protocol stack,
allowing microcontrollers to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It can function as a standalone
application host or offload networking tasks to another processor. The module comes
preprogrammed with an AT command set firmware for seamless integration.
IoT-Based Water Quality Monitoring System
By incorporating these sensors into an IoT system, users can monitor and analyze water
quality in real time, identify trends, and respond quickly to environmental changes. The
system enhances water quality management by providing instant alerts and actionable
insights.
In the solar-powered garden watering system, a fuzzy classifier is used to evaluate
water quality based on pH, TDS, and turbidity levels, following predefined fuzzy logic
rules. The entire system is implemented using an Arduino Mega 2560 and an ESP8266
Wi-Fi module. Sensor data is graphically displayed on ThingSpeak, enabling easy
monitoring from anywhere. The expert system successfully classifies water quality with
100% accuracy, ensuring reliable decision-making for automated water management.
With this IoT-based solution, water quality monitoring becomes more accessible, efficient,
and data-driven, supporting better environmental and agricultural practices.
