A Portable Low-Cost COTS-based Water Quality Monitoring System

Author : Indu 1

Date of Publication :20th March 2017

Abstract: This paper introduces a low-cost, portable water quality monitoring system for a study, user, and water distribution systems as well. This system consists of a main controller mounted on a Commercial Off - the-Shelf (COTS) single-board computer and fitted with an LCD touch screen for viewing data information; a central measurement unit is attached to a multi-parameter sensor array to collect data from the environment and a connectivity unit that links the sensor interface to the Internet. Portable water monitoring system dimensions are 38 cm x 12.8 cm x 8 cm, with a weight of 658gr. We measured from the experiment that the delay in data processing is 1 second and communication delay is only 2 seconds with internet connection of 3.1Mbps. Water pollution is one of ecological globalization's greatest threats. Thanks to waterborne diseases, water pollution impacts human health. Necessary steps must be taken to prevent water pollution. First step is to estimate water parameters such as pH, turbidity, conductivity, etc., as the variations in these parameters ' values point to pollutant presence. In the current scenario, water parameters are detected through the chemical test laboratory test, where the test equipment is stationary and samples are provided for test equipment. Thus, it is a tedious and time-consuming manual system.
