Project Summary

In recent years, the pollution especially water pollution has become one of the major issues that are faced by countries around the world. The increase of amount of factory and vehicle had caused the emission of plague water and chemical to the river, sea and pond. Besides, the plagued air that is released to the atmosphere also causes acid rain to occur when the chemical is mixed with the water in the atmosphere. The acid rain will damage the building and reduce the lifespan of the building. Moreover, the use of excessive fertilizer in agriculture will lead to excessive nutrient such as nitrogen and phosphorus. The excess nutrient will cause the harmful algae blooms which will reduce the dissolved oxygen in the water and threaten the aquatic life. Hence, it is important to monitor the water quality constantly so that immediate action can be taken to counter water pollution. Water quality is described as the general composition of water with reference to its chemical, physical and biological properties. Water is a limited natural resource and it is very essential for human beings. This is because nowadays, human uses water for daily chores such as hydration, washing, cooking and other. Aside from that, water is also a vital substance for most of the human activity such as agriculture, industrial manufacturing, animal rearing, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the water at high quality so that the water is save for the consumption of human and human activity. Nowadays, WQM are performed by integrating advance technologies to achieve a larger amount, more precise and accurate data for better data analysis. The technology such as microcontroller system and electrical and electronic sensors are implemented for a better result. This project is motivated to develop a low-cost WQM system. This project is carried out by developing a prototype of water quality monitoring system using microcontroller system. The scope of the development includes hardware and software. The multi-sensor circuit is designed to collect data and the microscope is used to take zoomed images. The sensor that is applied in the system is temperature sensor, pH sensor and Turbidity sensor. The collected data from the sensors is displayed at LCD.

Project Objectives

Core motive of this project is to put human's life in safe zone from serious waterborne diseases (typhoid, cholera and diarrhea) and keep environment healthy and safe.

Some are the followings

1. Make sustainable systems for safe drinking water
2. Water Quality Monitoring System will be designed on advance approach
3. Focus will be on budget that will make it affordable for everyone
4. System will serve human’s health

Project Implementation Method

In first methodology after starting of  the process, system gather analog data from sensors since Arduino board is based on serial processing therefore built-in ADC can take one sensor data at time however due to fast processing this won’t be observed, in processing block process according programming by user is performed and finally processed digital data is displayed on crystal LCD  in this way process is continue. Second start by taking snaps of contaminated water from microscope by pi-camera, the acquired image is compared with data base (set of images of various bacterial shapes) if it is matched then system indicate that virus is detected otherwise process again take new snap and repeats the cycle.

Benefits of the Project

Importance of tracking changes in water quality can’t be overstated: human health and livelihoods depend on clean, reliable water supplies. Monitoring drinking water is required under the US Safe Drinking Water Act, which sets federal requirements for monitoring water for contaminants, such as microorganisms and chemicals, to protect human health.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

In technical perspective system will be designed with main core components, microprocessor (Raspberry-Pi) and micro-controller (Arduino). Technical assessment covers the sensors (Ultra-sonic, Ph, turbidity and temperature), microscope, Pi-Cam and LCD displays. Outer cover will be as much as sustainable from any kind of physical force and temperature effects. Heat sinkers play role to calm down the system while it is running from long time. In case of long enable time requirement, timers will be programmed accordingly to maintain the power the loss (i.e. night usage).
