IoT based water reservoir monitoring system

Abstract

Wireless sensor network makes the innovative capability of real-time communication anywhere anything at any time. Internet of Things produces numerous sensor devices connected to exchange the collected information and sensed data. Both the technology is involved in water's physical parameters quality monitoring. Water is stored in the tank, lakes, pool, dam, and water reservoir. Hence, water quality has to be checked before usage nowadays. This system checks the physical parameters of water for its quality identification to avoid improper unfit water consumption. The initial monitoring of water's physical property will be done by the system remotely in real-time and if needed their chemical properties done at laboratories. A laboratory check is recommended after analyzing the physical quality of water. This system is cost-effective and efficient designed to monitor the water's physical property. This paper discusses hardware modules and software blocks for performing physical characteristics of water. In this paper, the monitoring system consists of several sensors to determine the physical qualities of water in the reservoir such as the potential of hydrogen (pH), temperature, humidity, electrical conduction, turbidness, Total Dissolved Solvents (TDS) of the water. The Microcontroller unit is interfaced with these sensors along with a wi-fi communication module. The collected data is sent to the cloud platform. All information is visible to the end-user at the instant of measurement. If the physical parameters are not within the standard range, the water is recommended to check its biochemical parameters at the laboratory for further quality identification. This paper gives an idea about the method of quality checking of water using IoT and WSN technology.
