Introduction
• Water quality monitoring is crucial for public
health and environmental protection.
• Traditional systems are manual and time-
consuming.
• IoT-based systems provide real-time, remote
monitoring capabilities.
What is IoT?
• IoT (Internet of Things) refers to a network of
physical devices that collect and exchange
data.
• Used in smart homes, agriculture, healthcare,
and environmental monitoring.
Need for Smart Water Monitoring
• Growing water pollution in rivers, lakes, and
groundwater.
• Need for real-time alerts to prevent health
risks.
• Improved data accuracy and accessibility.
System Components
• Sensors (pH, turbidity, temperature, TDS, etc.)
• Microcontroller (Arduino, Raspberry Pi)
• Communication module (Wi-Fi, GSM)
• Cloud or server for data storage and access
• Mobile or web application for monitoring
Working Principle
• Sensors collect data on water quality
parameters.
• Microcontroller processes data and sends it to
the cloud.
• Users can access data remotely in real-time.
Advantages
• 24/7 real-time monitoring
• Quick response to pollution or contamination
• Low manpower requirements
• Data logging and analytics possible
Challenges
• Sensor calibration and maintenance
• Power supply issues in remote areas
• Initial setup cost
• Network connectivity limitations
Applications
• Municipal water supply systems
• Industrial discharge monitoring
• Agriculture and irrigation water control
• Smart cities and remote village monitoring
Case Studies
• Ganga river real-time water monitoring
• Smart village projects in India using IoT
sensors
• Pilot projects by IITs and municipal bodies
Conclusion
• Smart water monitoring with IoT is a
sustainable and efficient solution.
• Vital for water conservation and quality
management in the 21st century.
