Design of Portable Soil and Water Testing System

According to United Nations Organisation (UNO) and World Health Organization (WHO) 3.4 million people worldwide die each year from illnesses linked to drinking water, according to the WHO. According to National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data, 10 farmers commit suicide on average each day as a result of low yields and their inability to pay off debts. These facts highlight the significance of monitoring water and soil samples to have a world free of disease and to comprehend the soil to cultivate crops. Due to the lack of portability, high expense, and lengthy processing, monitoring the quality of water and soil is a particularly onerous chore around the world. The procedures needed to monitor the soil and water condition are laborious and take a lot of time. To evaluate a wide range of concerns, including tourism, agriculture, commercial fishing, drinking water, and more, it is vital to test the soil and water parameters. This study intends to design and develop a portable, cost-effective device to count the numerous compounds and solvents present in soil and water. The system, which comprises multiple sensors and a software stack, can identify different minerals and organic materials in water without having to visit a testing facility. A mobile, autonomous system that can run multiple tests in one module without requiring calibration after each one. The system created would provide accurate results in the shortest amount of time, allowing the user to get professional advice if the water or soil contained more minerals than was allowed. The prototype may be used to monitor water from sources in real-time as well as soil from agricultural lands.
