Design and Implementation of a LoRa-Based Water Quality Monitoring System

Monitoring the physical, chemical, biological, and radiological properties of water is the process of figuring out whether it is suitable for a certain usage. Monitoring water quality strives to guarantee that water is fit for diverse applications, including drinking, recreation, and irrigation, as well as that it complies with environmental requirements. The conductivity, oxygen, TDS, turbidity, temperature, BOD, COD, pH and the presence of other pollutants like heavy metals, pesticides, and pathogens are among the parameters that are commonly examined during water quality monitoring. Monitoring water quality is crucial since it can have a negative impact on ecosystems, economy, and human health. Authorities can detect potential sources of contamination through monitoring and take the necessary action to safeguard the environment and the general people. Monitoring the quality of our water supply is essential to ensure its security. In this project, we suggest developing and deploying a LoRa-based system for monitoring water quality, which would allow for real-time monitoring of variables including pH, TDS, and temperature. The LoRa-based Water Monitoring Mote and the LoRa Gateway Mote are the two nodes that make up the system.
