Real Time Water Quality Monitoring and Flow Diverting System

Abstract

Nowadays, almost every person on earth is facing trouble because of growing population, aging infrastructure and pollution. There are several types of pollution namely: Soil, Land, Water, Air etc. Water is a very precious resource for all living beings and its pollution is a grave concern for the society. One major reason for water pollution is industrial waste. The indiscriminate discharge of these wastewater streams into the environment pollutes the receiving bodies. The traditional method to challenge pH, turbidity and other parameters is to collect samples manually and then send them to laboratory for quality check. However, it has been unable to achieve water quality examining. The proposed system consists of model based on IoT platform and uses temperature, pH and turbidity sensors to check the water quality. Water quality is monitored and data from the sensors are sent to the web server at regular interval of time under RaspberryPi-3 using internet. The proposed system is free from any external or human interference and it can be used for water bodies like rivers and ponds.
