In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly explicitly recognized the human right to water and sanitation, reaffirming that clean drinking water is essential for the realization of all the human rights. Therefore, controlling water quality should be a priority. In this context, it is interesting to make a simple, sustainable and low-cost system, in order take control over water quality parameters. This project main goal is to design and implement a water quality monitoring system on distribution networks to population or another interesting environment. It incorporates a quick alert system of flooding on low-altitude zones. It has mobile communication interface, over GSM, GPRS or 3G network, to send alarm and monitoring signals.

Water pollution has always been an important issue threatening human health. Water quality monitoring is an important step to ensure water quality safety. Water quality parameters such as pH, temperature and conductivity are important indicators in water quality monitoring. In this paper, a multi-parameter water quality detection integrated chip system is studied, and multiple sensors are integrated on the same chip to realize the monitoring of conventional parameters such as pH, temperature and conductivity in drinking water. The chip system was processed by MEMS technology. A ruthenium oxide (RuO2) film is used for pH detection, and the sensor exhibits a super-Nernst response (62.88 mV/pH) in the range of pH 1.92–11.74. The patterned micro Pt film is used as the temperature sensor, and the three-wire orthogonal structure is used for temperature detection. The sensitivity of this temperature sensor is 5.517 [Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text]C in the range of 6 to 80[Formula: see text]C. Conductivity was measured by a four-electrode system, and the electrode constant was 1.667 cm[Formula: see text] measured between 0.994 and 21.167 mS/cm. The test results show that the multi-parameter integrated chip system can realize the simultaneous detection of pH, temperature and conductivity in water, and has the characteristics of miniaturization and low cost, and provides an effective way for simultaneous detection of water quality.

Precision aquaculture is a new field that allows farmers to have better control over aquaculture processes, facilitating decision-making and improving efficiency. The implementation and evaluation of a low-cost water-quality monitoring system based on open-source hardware, which is easy to rebuild for scientific applications, is reported in this paper. The proposed system measures temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH, taking records and sending information through a wireless protocol (ZigBee) to a graphical user interface which can display information numerically and graphically, as well as simultaneously storing the information in a database. These variables are very important for aquaculture, as they have a direct influence on critical culture parameters such as growth and survival. Although it is a low-cost system, it offers good quality data and demonstrates efficiency for its use in precision aquaculture.

The decrease in quality of water resources has become a common problem. The standard methods of water quality surveillance include water sample manual collection from various locations. These water samples were tested in laboratory using intelligence capabilities. Such approaches take time and are no longer considered inefficient. The old method of water quality detection was time consuming, less accurate and expensive. By focusing on the above problems, IOT can be used to monitor water quality in real time, a low cost water quality monitoring system. Water quality parameters in the proposed system are measured by various sensors such as pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen to transfer data on a platform via a microcontroller system. Therefore, to meet these needs, you can use other technologies such as MQTT (Message Sorting Delimiter Transform), allowing the Sensor and End device rankings to publish and subscribe. And the number of data simultaneously between sensors and servers with the help of the MQTT algorithm.

Most developing countries depend on conventional water quality monitoring methods which are usually expensive, complicated, and time-consuming. In recent years, stationary and portable water quality monitoring and a mobile surface vehicle have increased the utilization of on-site water measurements and monitoring. The first has the disadvantage of small coverage area while the second has its cost and operational complexity. This paper addresses these issues by placing materials and equipment used in fixed online water quality monitoring and using a customized and low-cost unmanned surface vehicle. The measurements are taken automatically on the equipment onboard the unmanned surface vehicle (USV), transmitted wirelessly to a PC-based remote station or nearby stations and saved there in a dedicated database. The overall system comprises a commercial water quality sensor, a GSM and Zigbee module for a wireless communication system, a low-cost mobility platform, and the location/positioning system. During testing, all captured data like water quality parameters, location, and other essential parameters were collated, processed and stored in a database system. Relevant information from the USV can be viewed on a smartphone or a computer. The USV was also tested to conduct unmanned water quality measurements using the pre-inputted navigation route which shows a good result in navigation and data transmission. Water bodies with calm water such as lakes and rivers can use the USV, in a stand-alone mode or as a part of a networked sensor system.

A novel capacitive sensor for measuring the water-level and monitoring the water quality has been developed in this work by using an enhanced screen printing technology. A commonly used environment-friendly conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) for conductive sensors has a limited conductivity due to its high sheet resistance. A physical treatment performed during the printing process has reduced the sheet resistance of printed PEDOT:PSS on polyethylenterephthalat (PET) substrate from 264.39 Ω/sq to 23.44 Ω/sq. The adhesion bonding force between printed PEDOT:PSS and the substrate PET is increased by using chemical treatment and tested using a newly designed adhesive peeling force test. Using the economical conductive ink PEDOT:PSS with this new physical treatment, our capacitive sensors are cost-efficient and have a sensitivity of up to 1.25 pF/mm.

Diseases associated with bad water have largely reported cases annually leading to deaths, therefore the water quality monitoring become necessary to provide safe water. Traditional monitoring includes manual gathering of samples from different points on the distributed site, and then testing in laboratory. This procedure has proven that it is ineffective because it is laborious, lag time and lacks online results to enhance proactive response to water pollution. Emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and step towards the smart life poses the successful using of IoT. This paper presents a water quality monitoring using IoT based ThingSpeak platform that provides analytic tools and visualization using MATLAB programming. The proposed model is used to test water samples using sensor fusion technique such as TDS and Turbidity, and then uploading data online to ThingSpeak platform to monitor and analyze. The system notifies authorities when there are water quality parameters out of a predefined set of normal values. A warning will be notified to user by IFTTT protocol.

Water quality is very important for plant’s growth and development. Some of the important part of the water qualities are TDS(Total Dissolved Solid), EC(Electrical Conductivity), pH(Acidity). Cultivation inside a greenhouse provides some benefits but also have some deficiency, such as lack of soil nutrition because most plants inside greenhouse uses non soil growing media. To overcome the deficiency, An automated and remote system is needed to ease the controlling of water quality and nutrition feeding to the plant. This study aims to create low-cost greenhouse water quality monitoring that automatically display the real time data on a website. This research is done by using an engineering design methods. This system can be integrated with auto-pot watering system . The result shows that the system can adjust the TDS and pH as programmed, which are TDS= 1000-1200, and pH =5.5-6.5(these are recommended needs for Tomato plant). The TDS sensor in this reseach have the limitation of reading 0~1500ppm.
