Abstract

Real time water monitoring with the goal of notifying a user of the water quality parameters is a key requirement of today’s world. The unevenness of the parameters in the water caused via the growth of industrialization and agriculture waste releases into the water bodies which affect the ecosystem at the lakes. Therefore, it is an essential task to monitor toxic contaminants such as Orthophosphates (agriculture farms around water bodies causes the overgrowth of algae), E-coli (run off from sewage water), Heavy Metals (Lead and Arsenic). Therefore, to control these harmful contaminants (Phosphorous, E-coli, heavy metals), a smart system is required that can provide continuous data about the water quality without any human effort. At present, an autonomous system such as Internet of Things (IoT) has been proliferating significantly in smart sensing domain which has a potential to reduce overall cost as well as risk where direct human control is not possible. At present water bodies, such as Great Lakes are suffering by the accumulation of nutrients runoff from neighboring farms which causes overgrowth of algae leading to eutrophication. Thus, a profound change in water sustainability requires introducing real time data management through integrating new generation sensors and IoT technology.
