Waterways can contribute to the beauty and livelihood of urban areas, but maintaining their hydro-ecosystem health is challenging because they are often recipients of contaminated water from stormwater runoff and other discharges. Public awareness of local waterways’ health and community impacts to these waterways is usually poor due to of lack of easily available information. To improve community awareness of water quality in urban waterways in New Zealand, a web portal was developed featuring a real-time waterways monitoring system, a public forum, historical data, interactive maps, contaminant modelling scenarios, mitigation recommendations, and a prototype contamination alert system. The monitoring system featured in the web portal is unique in the use of wireless mesh network technology, direct integration with online modelling, and a clear target of public engagement. The modelling aims to show the origin of contaminants within the local catchment and to help the community prioritize mitigation efforts to improve water quality in local waterways. The contamination alert system aims to keep managers and community members better informed and to provide a more timely response opportunity to avert any unplanned or accidental contamination of the waterways. Preliminary feedback has been positive and is being supported by local and regional authorities. The system was developed in a cost-effective manner providing a community focussed solution for quantifying and mitigating key contaminants in urban catchments and is applicable and transferable to other cities with similar stormwater challenges.

Along with the times, recently there have been found tool to facilitate human’s work. Electronics is one of technology to facilitate human’s work. One of human desire is being safe, so that people think to make a tool which can monitor the surrounding condition without being monitored with people’s own eyes. Public awareness of the underground water channels currently felt still very little so frequent floods. To avoid the flood disaster monitoring needs to be done to underground water channels.This tool is controlled via a web browser. for the components used in this monitoring system is the Raspberry Pi technology where the system can take pictures in real time with the help of Logitech C170 webcam camera. web browser and Raspberry Pi make everyone can control the devices around with using smartphone, laptop, computer and ipad. This research is expected to be able to help the users in knowing the blockage on water flow and monitored around in realtime.

In order to solve the problems of high labor cost, long detection period, and low degree of information in current water environment monitoring, this paper proposes a lake water environment monitoring system based on LoRa and Internet of Things technology. The system realizes remote collection, data storage, dynamic monitoring, and pollution alarm for the distributed deployment of multisensor node information (water temperature, pH, turbidity, conductivity, and other water quality parameters). Moreover, the system uses STM32L151C8T6 microprocessor and multiple types of water quality sensors to collect water quality parameters in real time, and the data is packaged and sent to the LoRa gateway remotely by LoRa technology. Then, the gateway completes the bridging of LoRa link to IP link and forwards the water quality information to the Alibaba Cloud server. Finally, end users can realize the water quality control of monitored water area by monitoring management platform. The experimental results show that the system has a good performance in terms of real-time data acquisition accuracy, data transmission reliability, and pollution alarm success rate. The average relative errors of water temperature, pH, turbidity, and conductivity are 0.31%, 0.28%, 3.96%, and 0.71%, respectively. In addition, the signal reception strength of the system within 2 km is better than -81 dBm, and the average packet loss rate is only 94%. In short, the system’s high accuracy, high reliability, and long distance characteristics meet the needs of large area water quality monitoring.

Real time Monitoring system is an important gurantee for the water quality. SDI-12 water sensors are used to monitor the water conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, Ph, turbidity and other parameters in this paper. The signal of the wastewater is collected to the ARM chip, and then it is processed by the chip. The preliminary result will be displayed on a handheld terminal in real time. The handheld terminal also integrates the function of remote data transmission, which can transmit the original water data to a central server for storage via GPRS. Central server analyse the wastewater data based on ontology. Meanwhile, the system can also control water detector via remote control, which realizes the unattended effect.

In view of the methods on remote monitoring of the rivers and lakes water quality are relatively single and low efficiency in supervision at present, this page puts forward a kind of design method of the internet of things system about remote monitoring system based on GPRS/3G technology. The system can realize multi-point data integration, processing, integration and real-time results releasing, with GPRS/3G remote data communication technology as the core, and send the information accesses to the buoys placed on the waters surface, mobile intelligent instruments, and the water quality monitoring ark placed on the water bank via GPRS/3G module to the superior intelligence analysis system, which realizes the real-time display in the GIS map, water quality evaluation, bloom forecast, decision-making, etc. Practice has proved that this system is stable and reliable, and provided the effective monitoring of the rivers and lakes water quality and management decision of algae blooms emergency for the environmental protection department.
