Regular water quality monitoring of water bodies is essential to ensure it is within the allowing standard limits. The development of a simple and low-cost water quality measurement device for real time monitoring using Internet of Things (IoT) technology is presented in this study. Kolora meter is an alternative to the existing commercial monitoring devices. It was developed using the open-source platform Arduino UNO model and NodeMCU board as the microcontroller and Wi-Fi connection respectively. Two sensors such as temperature and turbidity were selected to be installed in the early stage of Kolora meter development. The physical parameters (temperature and turbidity) of water were measured and the measured data collected are able to be viewed and monitored on the mobile phone using Kolora Mobile Application via Wi-Fi connection. Therefore, this surface water quality device has potential to be applied in real time monitoring for early pollution detection and during COVID-19 pandemic spread due to limited movement.
