A Review : The Real Time Water Quality Monitoring System based on IoT
Platform
Abstract Good water quality is essential for the health of our aquatic ecosystems. Continuous water quality monitoring is an important tool for
catchment management authorities, providing real-time data for environmental protection and tracking pollution sources; however, continuous
water quality monitoring at high temporal and spatial resolution remains prohibitively expensive. In this system we present a design and
development of a low cost system for real time monitoring of the water quality using IOT(internet of things).The system consist of several
sensors is used to measuring physical and chemical parameters of the water. The parameters such as temperature, turbidity, PH, Flow of the
water can be measured. The measured values from the sensors can be processed by the core controller. The Raspberry pi can be used as a core
controller. Finally, the sensor data can be viewed on internet using cloud computing.
Keywords: water quality monitoring, Internet of Things, Raspberry Pi, cloud computing.

III. MOTIVATION
Water Pollution is a major global problem which requires
ongoing valuation and modification of water resource guiding
principle at the levels of international down to individual
wells. It has been surveyed that water pollution is the leading
cause of deaths and diseases worldwide. The records show that
more than 14,000 people die daily worldwide. In India
predictable 580 people die of water pollution related illness
every day. In many developing countries, dirty or
contaminated water is being used for drinking without any
proper former treatment.
One of the reasons for this happening is the unawareness
of public and administration and the lack of water quality
monitoring system which creates serious health issues. Also
natural phenomena such as volcanoes, algae tints, rainstorms, Block diagram of proposed system
and earthquakes also change the quality and ecological status
of water.
