Autonomous Buoy Based Water Quality Monitoring System

Water quality of domestic water bodies is being degraded by harmful pollutants due to the discharge of domestic drains and interconnecting water bodies. This project proposes a real time water quality monitoring system using IoT (Internet of Things). The system consists of several sensors which are used to measure physical and chemical parameters such as temperature, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, Total dissolved solids (TDS) of the water. Additionally, this remote control system is especially for lakes reservoirs, rivers. To monitor water quality in such complicatedscale water environment, we use a buoy which can float and move on the water simply by using automated/manual controller. This buoy includes an embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) which gives the location of the point wherever water quality is being monitored. All the results are being generated and displayed with their readings, as a data sheet.
