 ABSTRACT

Nowadays the most important thing in the field of technology is Internet of Things (IOT).
So, IOT is used in many fields for solving various problems.
The IOT and Remote Sensing techniques are used in different area of research for
monitoring, collecting and analysis data from remote locations.
Due to drastically increase in the field of industry and modernization, and the usage of
land and sea in increased from urban to rural areas, thus the quality of water available to
people has deteriorated greatly. The using of fertilizer and insecticides by the farmer in
order to protect their crops and large amount of harmful discharge of waste directly into
water bodies by the industry reduces the quality of water globally.
Water is an essential need for human survival and therefore there must be mechanisms
put in place to vigorously test the quality of water that made available for drinking in
town and city articulated supplies and as well as the rivers, creeks and shoreline that
surround our towns and cities. Implementation of IOT based water monitoring system in
the urban and rural areas help the people to know the quality of the water the are using.
The also can get the information of water level by help of the Ultrasonic depth sensor so,
they can get the information that how much water is available in tanks so they can use it
wisely accordingly.
The availability of good quality of water to the people help to reduce the water born
diseases as well as improve the quality of life.
The main objective of this IOT based water monitoring system is to find the quality of
water i.e. how the pH of the water varies and show the output through GSM module.
For the monitoring of pH level in water we are using the Arduino board and GSM module
to display the message or output. For getting the indication of continuous monitoring of
water we have installed led which blinks when the system is working.
Further we can upload the outputs and result to the computer based cloud system so the
people using the monitoring system can get records of previous results at any time in any
corner of the world.

Keywords: Internet of Things (IOT), Water Monitoring System, Remote Sensor,

Ultrasonic Depth Sensor, Arduino, pH level sensor, GSM module.
 INTRODUCTION

1.1. Identification of Client /Need / Relevant Contemporary issue

Client identification:
In this situation, the customer might be a corporation, organization, or a
person that wants to use water monitoring system to improve its quality of
water, increase the lifestyle of peoples. The customer may be familiar with
the IOT or technology so they can easily use it without and problems. The
industry can use the water monitoring system in their factories so they can
get the information of the water they are using. The technology can also be
used by government to supervise the industry that the industry is not
discharging the polluted water in fresh water bodies.

Needs:
So that the people using and drinking the water can get the quality of the
water. So, they can protect themselves from water borne diseases.

Relevant Contemporary Issues:

One relevant contemporary issue for water monitoring systems is the
increasing concern about the quality and safety of drinking water. With the
growing population, urbanization, and industrialization, there is a rise in
pollution, which has a significant impact on the quality of water resources. As
a result, it becomes crucial to have effective and reliable water monitoring
systems that can detect and address contaminants in water sources.
Another issue is the impact of climate change on water resources. Climate
change can lead to changes in precipitation patterns, water availability, and
water quality, which can have significant impacts on the ecosystems and
communities that rely on these resources. A water monitoring system can help
to monitor these changes and their impacts on water resources.
Finally, water scarcity is another pressing issue that requires effective water
monitoring systems. With the growing demand for water resources, it becomes
essential to monitor water usage, identify leaks, and manage water distribution
efficiently to ensure that water is used sustainably and equitably.

Project scope:
The scope of a water monitoring system project can vary depending on the
specific needs and goals of the project. However, here are some key
components that should be considered in defining the project scope:
1. Objectives: Clearly define the objectives of the water monitoring system
project, such as monitoring water quality, detecting contaminants, or
measuring water usage.
 2. System Components: Identify the specific components that will be
included in the water monitoring system, such as sensors, data loggers,
telemetry devices, and software systems.
3. Site Selection: Determine the specific water sources or locations that will
be monitored, such as a water treatment plant, distribution system, or
natural waterway.
4. Data Collection and Analysis: Define the data collection protocols, data
processing methods, and analysis techniques that will be used to collect
and interpret the data generated by the monitoring system.
5. Reporting and Communication: Determine how the data will be
reported, shared, and communicated to stakeholders, such as water
authorities, policymakers, and the public

Overall, the scope of a water monitoring system project should be well-

defined to ensure that it meets the specific needs of the project
stakeholders and delivers the desired outcome.

1.2 Identification of Problems:

There are a number of things that can go wrong with a water quality monitoring system, some
of which include: wear and tear on the installation.
1. Sensor Malfunction: The accuracy and reliability of water quality monitoring data can
be affected by a variety of factors, such as data collection errors, data processing errors,
and environmental factors affecting readings sensors.

2. Data Management nd Storage: The sheer volume of data generated by water monitoring
systems can present challenges for data management and storage. This can cause
problems with data access, processing and analysis.

3. Integration with other systems: Integrating a water monitoring system with other water
management systems, such as water treatment systems, can be difficult due to
differences in data formats, protocols and standards.

4. Human Error: Water monitoring systems are operated and maintained by people, and
errors can occur due to human error, lack of training, or poor supervision.

5. Cyber Security Threats: Water monitoring systems can be vulnerable to cybersecurity

threats such as hacking, data breaches, and ransomware attacks, which can lead to data
loss or manipulation.

Identifying these problems and taking appropriate action to resolve them helps to ensure that
water monitoring systems are reliable, accurate and effective in achieving their intended goals.
1.3 Identification of Task:
Here are some tasks that may be involved in a water monitoring system:

1. Sensor selection: Choose the appropriate sensors to monitor different parameters such
as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and conductivity.

2. Sensor installation: Install the sensors in the appropriate locations, ensuring that they
are properly calibrated and connected to the data logger.

3. Data collection: Collect data from the sensors at regular intervals, ensuring that the
data is accurate, reliable, and representative of the water quality parameters being
monitored.

4. Data analysis: Analyze the data to identify trends, patterns, and anomalies in the water
quality parameters being monitored.

5. Data visualization: Visualize the data in a meaningful way, such as through graphs,
charts, or maps, to facilitate data interpretation and communication.

6. Data reporting: Prepare reports summarizing the data collected, analyzed, and
visualized, and communicate the results to stakeholders such as water managers,
regulators, and the public.

7. Maintenance and calibration: Regularly maintain and calibrate the sensors and
equipment to ensure that they are functioning properly and accurately measuring the
water quality parameters.

8. Integration with other systems: Integrate the water monitoring system with other
water management systems, such as water treatment systems, to ensure that the data
collected is used effectively to manage water resources.

Overall, the tasks involved in a water monitoring system will depend on the specific objectives,
parameters, and locations being monitored, and may require specialized skills and expertise in
fields such as environmental science, engineering, data analysis, and communication.
