Water Quality Data

Water Technology is a new approach for assessing water quality. Water technology is the method by which the water quality can be improved so as to accept the water for a specific use. In this paper, an IoT based water quality assessment has been carried out. The IoT system consists of electronic devices and associated sensors to capture water quality. Experimental samples for water quality check were chosen from, river Malaprabha. The water samples are collected from a water quality monitoring station near Khanapur town, Belagavi district, in the state of Karnataka, India. The water quality parameters assessed here are temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Conductivity and Nitrate (NO3). The proposed IoT system collects the real-time water quality data at every regular time interval. The need for real-time assessment is because, in recent years the water is getting polluted at an alarming level, due to urbanization and industrialization, that results in pollutions like an Urban waste, industrial waste, and agricultural waste, etc... disposed into water. Thus making, the use of water even harder for day-to-day anthropogenic activities. The IoT system developed can be used to monitor and assess the water quality parameters.

Water Quality Data

The monitoring of water quality is, in most cases, managed in the laboratory and not on real time bases. Besides this process being lengthy, it doesn’t provide the required specifications to describe the evolution of the quality parameters that are of interest. This study presents the integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with wireless sensor networks (WSN) aiming to create a system able to detect the parameters like temperature, salinity and conductivity in a Moroccan catchment scale and transmit information to the support station. This Information is displayed and evaluated in a GIS using maps and spatial dashboard to monitor the water quality in real time.

The focus of this study was to develop true reflectance surfaces in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum from small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) images obtained over large bodies of water when no ground control points were available. The goal of the research was to produce true reflectance surfaces from which reflectance values could be extracted and used to estimate optical water quality parameters utilizing limited in-situ water quality analyses. Multispectral imagery was collected using a sUAS equipped with a multispectral sensor, capable of obtaining information in the blue (0.475 μm), green (0.560 μm), red (0.668 μm), red edge (0.717 μm), and near infrared (0.840 μm) portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. To develop a reliable and repeatable protocol, a five-step methodology was implemented: (i) image and water quality data collection, (ii) image processing, (iii) reflectance extraction, (iv) statistical interpolation, and (v) data validation. Results indicate that the created protocol generates geolocated and radiometrically corrected true reflectance surfaces from sUAS missions flown over large bodies of water. Subsequently, relationships between true reflectance values and in-situ water quality parameters were developed.

Porsuk River

Abstract The study offers a GIS-based multivariate statistical analysis strategy to assess river water quality. Multivariate statistical methods and Geographic Information System (GIS) technology have effectively been used for water quality management. Recognizing the fact that the use of standard statistical methods can be restrictive due to the complexity of water quality datasets, geospatial statistical methods have been recommended for the water quality assessment. The objective of the study was to explore the potential capabilities of GIS-based joint multivariate statistical analysis for water quality assessment of Porsuk River in Turkey. A well-known multivariate statistical technique, principal component analysis (PCA), is incorporated into a geographic database for interpretation of water quality data. To characterize spatial variability of water quality data, spatial PCA was performed on the basis of spatial autocorrelation. Application of the joint spatio-multivariate statistical analysis for interpretation of the water quality database offered a better understanding of the hydrochemistry in the study region.

Novel Approach

Abstract Potential errors or uncertainties of annual loading estimations for water quality parameters such as suspended solids (SS), nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), ortho-phosphorus (Ortho-P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) can be greatly affected by sampling frequencies. In this study, annual loading estimation errors were assessed in terms of the coefficient of variation, relative bias, and probability of potential errors that were estimated with statistical samples taken at a series of sampling frequencies for a watershed in northwestern New Brunswick, Canada, and one of its sub-watersheds. Results indicate that annual loading estimation errors increased with decreasing sampling frequency for all water quality parameters. At the same sampling frequencies, the estimation errors were several times greater for the smaller watershed than those for the larger watershed, possibly due to the flushing nature of streamflows in the smaller watershed. We also found that low sampling frequency tended to underestimate the annual loadings of water quality parameters dominated by stormflow events (SS and K) and overestimate water quality parameters dominated by baseflow (Mg and Ca). These results can be used by hydrologists and water quality managers to determine sampling frequencies that minimize costs while providing acceptable estimation errors. This study also demonstrates a novel approach to assess potential errors when analyzing existing water quality data.

Abstract A series of programs have been developed using the statistical package Minitab to evaluate trends of water quality parameters over a time period. These programs are included in an interactive program with graphic capabilities called Water Quality Trend Analysis (WQTA). The output files from the retrieval and year programs of the National Water Quality Data Bank (NAQUADAT) are used as input files to the program. The graphic output is obtained using the graphical package Axum. Twelve-month moving averages and the Spearman’s rank correlation are applied for trend assessments. The components of variability (seasonal, trend and random) of the water quality parameters are modelled using linear regression. The methods are applied successfully to selected physical and chemical water quality parameters collected at the mouth of Niagara River, at Niagara-on-the-Lake, during the period 1976–89. The specific conductance was decreasing for the period as the discharge was increasing, due to higher dilution effects. A modest downward trend for total phosphorus was observed for the period 1976–84, and there is no trend between 1984-89. A strong decreasing trend for chloride was observed during the 1977–84 period but this has levelled off since then. A strong upward trend for iron and a weak downward trend for lead was evident over the study period.
