IoT based Phytoremediation Process Monitoring
Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryThe need for effective and efficient monitoring, evaluation and control of water and air quality has become more demanding in this era of urbanization, population growth and climate change and variability. Traditional methods that rely on collecting water samples, testing and analyses in water laboratories are not only costly but also lack capability for real-time data capture, analyses and fast dissemination of information to relevant stakeholders for making timely and informed decisions.
We are performing Phytoremediation process for purification of water. The system will consist of an Arduino microcontroller, water quality sensors (pH, EC, DO and temp), high resolution rotating video camera for online streaming, a GSM module and a wireless network connection module. It will detect the water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and electrical conductivity in real-time and disseminates the information in graphical and tabular formats to relevant stakeholders through a web-based portal or android platforms. After connecting sensor hubs to the cloud we'll see your water quality sensor information on maps, graphs, and other analytical tools.
Project ObjectivesThe main objective is to develop a system for continuous monitoring of water quality at remote places using wireless sensor networks with low power consumption and high detection accuracy. pH, conductivity, turbidity level, dissolved oxygen etc. are the limits that are analyzed to improve the water quality. Following are the aims of idea implementation (a) To measure water parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, etc. using available sensors at a remote place. (b) To assemble data from various sensor nodes and send it to the base station by the wireless channel. (c) To simulate and evaluate quality parameters for quality control. (d) To send SMS to an authorized person routinely when water quality detected does not match the preset standards, so that, necessary actions can be taken.
To overcome these problems we want to develop a system where we are using some sensors which can overawed the chemical method, for that reason we are using turbidity sensor which checks water quality, Thermistor sensor checks temperature of water because temperature also tells the purity of water and the plants required the specific temperature so if temperature destabilizes it will be alerted, PIR sensor which detects existence of motion in field and Bluetooth module through which we can send all the values obtained by given sensors on a mobile app placed near the ponds and from that app the values can be sent to the authorized users and the values will be saved in database of second app. Only authorized users have the apps installed in their mobiles. From this app they can up-to-date by the current condition of the ponds and water.
Benefits of the ProjectThe scope defines the boundaries of the system. This system is IoT based, having sensors and a mobile app for information collection.We are developing an IoT based system for monitoring the process of Phytoremediation of groundwater. System will provide facilities in observing the purification of water through phytoremediation process. Phytoremediation is a very useful process which clean sewage water through plants. Humans, animals and other species are watered from that cleaned water. We will use sensors like Thermistor, RIP sensor and Turbidity sensor in this system and all will be dipped in water. Then under this project we have two mobile apps for managing the data. Sensors will check turbidity and temperature of water cleaned by plants and motion occurred in field. We will also use a Bluetooth module that will get values and data and send it to the database of the system. Our main mobile app will with database will send sensors records to the second app. Through second mobile app data will be displayed to the user. At this point user will have all the information regarding its underground water and will know that how much plants like Water Lettuce, Pennywort and Typha are helping in making this water purifiable.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableIt is a hardware-based project. To develop this project thermistor and turbidity sensors are needed to determine quality and temperature of water and PIR motion sensor needed to determine moving objects in its range of 10 meters. Coding for these sensors will be done in Arduino so that sensors work properly according to our need. Database connectivity with mobile App will be done in order to perform authorization of user and storing sensors data. Bluetooth module will be used in order to get values determined by sensors in database. These values will be displayed on mobile App.
