Project Summary

The quality of drinking water plays a crucial role in the health of animals and human beings. Lakes and reservoirs, canals one of the major sources of drinking water. Rivers and lakes are the sole sources available to drink water. Irrigation, fishery and energy production organizations are highly relied on water quality. Therefore, the quality of water of rivers and lakes ought to be kept at a certain level. Water supply at homes of urban areas and water sources available in rural regions is however, not fundamentally secure for utilization. Indeed in spite of the fact that its government’s responsibility to guarantee that clean water is conveyed to its citizens. Imperfectly maintained infrastructure and nonstop increment in population causes strain regarding the provision of clean and consumable water. Hence it is necessary to monitor the quality of water which will be utilized for consumption. Monitoring is characterized as the collection of data at set locations and at standard interims in order to provide the information which may be used to direct the current conditions, buildup trends, etc. Conventional water quality checking methods include sampling and laboratory techniques. These strategies cost effective and time consuming which eventually leads to delayed in detection of impurities and reaction to those contaminants in water. So there should be more efficient and productive checking strategies to monitor the quality of water.

Water quality monitoring is defined as the collection of information at set locations  and at regular intervals in order to provide data which may be used to define current conditions, establish trends, etc. The aim of is to present a low cost, less complex smart water quality monitoring system using a controller with inbuilt Wi-Fi module to monitor parameters such as pH, turbidity and conductivity. The system also includes an alert facility, to inform the user on deviation of water quality parameters. So we here design a solution for easy water quality checking of vast water bodies with ease.. This RC boat will help to measure the ph level and turbidity level. This will further help us to maintain the water clean.

Project Objectives

• To build a system for water quality monitoring on lakes and reservoirs with else.
• To measure the critical water quality parameters such as microbial, physical and chemical properties and to measure the ph level and turbidity level to identify deviations in parameters and provide early warning identification of hazards.
• To build the monitoring system provides real time analysis of data collected and suggests suitable remedial measures.

Project Implementation Method

This project is remote-operated and controlled by an RC remote using which it can be maneuvered accordingly, a motorized propeller system to provide the forward propulsion and servo motor arrangement to provide with the steering using a rudder. As per the commands received by the rc receiver the controller operates the DC motor which rotates the propeller through a flexible bearing and shaft. Now we have an a rudder attached to a servo motor used to steer the boat as per controller instructions.

Additionally, we have two sensors to determine water quality, we include PH sensors as well as turbidity sensor. These sensors will detect the presence of suspended particles in the water. We also have a GPS module and micro SD card, which will log the data from sensors as well as GPS locations at particular intervals.

Benefits of the Project

• The system is mainly designed  for easy water quality checking of vast water bodies from Lakes and reservoirs, canals one of the major sources of drinking water.
• Easy to Operate.
• Low Power Consumption.
• Automatic Data Logging.
• Long Range.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

We will manufacture a boat which can float and move on the water simply by RC controller. This structure will designe as a hull shape which minimize the resistivity of water flow and this shape also maintained the stability of water. This water quality monitoring boat includes an embedded global positioning system GPS which gives the location of the point wherever water quality is varying and radio frequency module for wireless communication. All the results is generated and displayed with their readings and their graphical analogue meters through the graphical user interface GUI technique, along with water’s impurities limitation points and its hazardous level notification. It is proven through various tests conducted in reservoirs, lakes and personal water storage tanks that this project is successfully capable of demonstrating these physiochemical parameters as well as display these readings effectively.
