Developing a Smart Water Quality Monitoring System Using IoT Technologies

Abstract

Water is essential for human survival and ecosystem health. Therefore, robust mechanisms must be implemented to monitor drinking and environmental water quality. Timely warnings about water contamination are critical for protecting public and environmental health. The Internet of Things (IoT) enables remote monitoring, data collection, and analysis of water quality. This study aims to develop a smart water quality monitoring system using Web and Mobile applications. The system measures five key water quality parameters (temperature, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and salinity). Sensors are calibrated in the lab and field to ensure data accuracy. The system provides real-time water quality assessments and early warning of contamination events to safeguard drinking and environmental water resources.
