Water is an essential need and elixir of life. People all the world are fighting for their drinking water in order to keep it clean. No matter in what form it is rivers, lakes etc people have taken extreme measures to keep their water drinkable and useable for both humans and animals. Water is a significant characteristic asset without which no life can be envisioned. In any case, individuals misuse this real asset and cause wastage of water. We provide energy saving solution for monitoring the water quality. The proposed idea will build an IOT based sensor which monitors the pH, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, bacteria, etc. present in the water collected. The sensors collect data and send it through a network. Then server will upload the data to the cloud. The remote water station will read the collected data and determine the quality of water. Henceforth, this application can be used on bigger scales, saves time and man-power.

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.


Monitoring the quality of water and its proper management is crucial for any industrial and economic application. The global shortage of water demands a sustainable solution to optimize its usage. The Internet of Things provides a robust and cost-effective solution for real-time monitoring of various parameters of water. The paper aims to implementan intelligent water quality monitoring system with the aid of IoT. The proposed system was successfully implemented to determine the turbidity, TDS, flow rate and the level of water for a given sample. The data obtained from the sensors are uploaded to the ThingSpeak dashboard for online monitoring purpose. Besides, an SMS alert is sent to the user whenever the turbidity and TDS values have crossed the threshold limit defined for good quality water.

<p>Due to the vast increase in global industrial output, rural to urban drift and the over-utilization of land and sea resources, the quality of water available to people has deteriorated greatly. Before the sensor based approach to water quality monitoring, water quality was tested by collecting the samples of water and experimentally analyzing it in the laboratories. However, in today, with time being a scarce resource, the traditional method of water quality testing is not efficient anymore. To tackle this issue, several electronic (microcontroller and sensor based) water quality monitoring systems were developed in the past decade. However, an in depth study of this current water quality testing technology shows that there are some limitations that should be taken into consideration. Therefore, an automatic, remote, and low cost water quality monitoring system has been developed. This system consists of a core microcontroller, multiple sensors, GSM module, LCD display screen, and an alarm subsystem. The quality of water is read from the physical world through the water quality testing sensors and sent to the microcontroller. The data is then analyzed by the microcontroller and the result is displayed on the LCD screen on the device. At the same time, another copy of the sensor readings is sent remotely to the user’s mobile phone in the form of SMS. If an abnormal water quality parameter is detected by any sensor, the alarm system will turn on the respective red LED for that parameter and the buzzer will give warning sound. At the same time, the abnormality of the water parameter is reported to the user through SMS. The system is aimed to be used for wide applications and by all categories of users. It can facilitate the process of water quality monitoring autonomously and with low cost; to help people improve their quality of drinking water, household water supplies and aquaculture farms, especially in rural areas where residents do not have access to standardized water supply and suffer from different diseases caused by contaminated water.</p>

The objective of the study was to evaluate the performance of Tuntang Catchment based on water quantity and quality area ranging from its upstream to downstream. The method used to determine the water quantity was by carrying out ground study on water discharge in the dry season (June 2011) in the research site, while the water quality was determined by conducting a laboratory analysis on the samples obtained from the sites in both the rainy and dry season (January and June 2011). The results indicated that the quantity of water discharge in Tuntang River was categorized “good”, although it was utilized for many uses such as irrigation, hydropower, and drinking water. Most of water discharges were mainly supplied from the upstream of Rawa Pening Lake. The water quality determined from the parameters of total dissolved solids, conductivity, pH, phosphate, and nitrate could be classified as “good”, meanwhile, the turbidity and dissolved oxygen were classified as “poor”.

<p>There is huge number of disease which is caused through water drinking that being polluted was supplied to the consumer. This is something that cannot be underestimate because it can cause high cost of treatment or death. Its not only cause troubles to the consumer which is human, it is also included all aquatic life and surrounding ecosystem. There is way to overcome this problem that created before which is take the sample of water to the lab. The result of water being polluted or not will be released by the lab. But this system going to take lot of times because there are few process that should be followed. This system is not suitable anymore because it is not portable, easy and fastest. It should be upgraded to the IoT system because it can cut times, internet base and people will be more alert to the quality of water. Therefore, a real-time water quality monitoring system is proposed in this research to reduce number of fatality happened from water.</p>

Summary. Introduction: Drinking water is one of the most important environmental factors sustaining life and determining human health. The goal of the Russian Federal Clean Water Project is to improve drinking water quality through upgrading of water treatment and supply systems using advanced technologies, including those developed by the military-industrial complex. The most informative and reliable sources of information for assessing drinking water quality are the results of systematic laboratory testing obtained within the framework of socio-hygienic monitoring (SGM) and production control carried out by water supply organizations. The objective of our study was to formulate approaches to organizing quality monitoring programs for centralized cold water supply systems. Materials and methods: We reviewed programs and results of drinking water quality laboratory tests performed by Rospotrebnadzor bodies and institutions within the framework of SGM in 2017–2018. Results: We established that drinking water quality monitoring in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation differs significantly in the number of monitoring points (566 in the Krasnoyarsk Krai vs 10 in Sevastopol) and measured indicators, especially sanitary and chemical ones (53 inorganic and organic substances in the Kemerovo Region vs one indicator in the Amur Region). Discussion: For a more complete and objective assessment of drinking water quality in centralized cold water supply systems, monitoring points should be organized at all stages of water supply with account for the coverage of the maximum number of people supplied with water from a particular network. Thus, the number of points in the distribution network should depend, inter alia, on the size of population served. In urban settlements with up to 10,000 inhabitants, for example, at least 4 points should be organized while in the cities with more than 3,000,000 inhabitants at least 80 points are necessary. We developed minimum mandatory lists of indicators and approaches to selecting priority indices to be monitored at all stages of drinking water supply.
