Integrating IoT technologies into water quality monitoring

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the benefits of Internet of Things (IOT) applications in improving water quality monitoring. The study followed a descriptive-analytical approach, addressing the deficiencies in traditional methods and the utilization of (IOT)applications in enhancing water quality and monitoring.

The study concluded the significance of developing infrastructure by equipping drinking water sources and treatment plants with (IOT) devices and technologies to track real-time data and provide early warning on water issues and quality.

There is a necessity to ensure the provision of clean drinking water for people in both urban and rural areas. Monitoring water quality using (IOT) is a cost-effective, timely, and efficient system.

An (IOT) water quality monitoring system consists of sensors to measure various variables such as pH level, water turbidity, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, humidity, and more. These variables interact with the sensors, and the data obtained is sent to the (IOT) cloud. The control and processing unit further processes, categorizes, and analyzes the data.
