An integrated approach for Wastewater Treatment System using IoT for green infrastructure using sensor

IoT Innovations in Sustainable Water and Wastewater Management and Water Quality Monitoring: A Comprehensive Review of Advancements, Implications, and Future Directions

“…The integration of different wireless communication technologies has been explored in several studies for optimizing data acquisition and transmission in the field of wastewater infrastructure management applications [101], [114]. For example, Chaudhari et al [115] and Sasirekha et al [116] integrated multiple wireless communication technologies, such as Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN, and GSM, to provide a reliable and efficient communication network. These authors emphasize the significance of integrating diverse wireless communication technologies to enhance data transmission and management in wastewater infrastructure applications.…”

“…On the other hand, other studies have explicitly discussed the use of graphical representations of data, such as scatter plots, histograms, and graphs, to facilitate decision-making [58], [99], [101], [108]. Additionally, Sasirekha et al [116] and Islam et al [121] have presented graphical representations of real-time tracking and current environmental situations, respectively. On the other hand, Lorenz et al [90] have introduced the use of a GIS-web-based frontend to visualize processed sensor events on the water network map.…”

“…Several researchers have proposed or developed such systems ranging from small-scale urban infrastructure, such as smart rain barrels [108], to large communal wastewater treatment plants [101], [103], [122]. These systems are often utilized for detecting and preventing overflows, which can cause environmental contamination and the spread of waterborne diseases [102], [113], [116]. Furthermore, some studies have investigated implementing IoT-based sustainable stormwater management systems, which address deficiencies typically encountered in drainage systems [58], [121], [123].…”

“…These benefits include improved water quality [96], [101], ecosystem tracking [113], reduction in solid waste [114], reduction in potable water consumption for irrigation [104], and optimization of water resources [58]. Similarly, cost reduction and improved efficiency were mentioned in six papers, including those by Praveena et al [102], Jeffery et al [111], Latif et al [100], Sasirekha et al [116], Alshami et al [109], and Pérez-Padillo et al [112]. These studies suggested that IoT-based wastewater infrastructure management can significantly decrease operational costs and enhance overall efficiency, leading to better resource utilization and cost savings.…”

“…Prasath et al [103], Lorenz et al [90], Pérez-Padillo et al [112], and Nair et al [97] emphasized the limitations of available sensors and the need for improved sensor devices that can be deployed in different locations and harsh environments. Calibration and maintenance of sensors also pose significant challenges, as noted by Sasirekha et al [116] and Dronavalli et al [105]. Implementing IoT-based wastewater infrastructure management also faces significant technical and operational limitations and challenges.…”
