Abstract

In the past, assessing water quality has typically involved labor-intensive and costly processes such as laboratory analysis and manual sampling, which do not provide real-time data. In addition to tasting bad, drinking acidic water on a regular basis can result in acid reflux and recurrent heartburn while high total dissolved solids water can cause kidney stones, especially when the hard water content is more than 500ppm. With growing concerns about water quality, there is a need for continuous monitoring of pH and TDS levels in surface and groundwater sources. To address this, a cutting-edge wireless sensor system leveraging on Internet of Things (IoT) technology has been developed. This system incorporates top-notch pH and TDS sensors known for their accuracy, durability, and environmental compatibility. Integrated with microcontrollers featuring wireless communication capabilities, these sensors enable seamless data transmission to a central server through IoT protocols like cellular networks. The collected data is processed and calibrated to ensure reliability and precision. The IoT platform connected to the central server manages device connectivity, data storage, and analysis, making real-time data accessible via user-friendly web or mobile applications with interactive graphs and dashboards. Power-saving features are implemented to optimize battery life in remote and off-grid locations, and weather-resistant enclosures protect the sensor nodes from harsh environmental conditions. By deploying this wireless-based sensor system, users can gain valuable real-time insights into water quality in surface and groundwater monitoring locations.
