Water Quality Monitoring and Measures of Water Usage in Homes

Water quality and resource usage are important problems in residential areas where drinking water security and sustainable consumption patterns should be monitored. In this paper, we propose a simple system architecture to facilitate an application to develop smart water monitoring and simultaneous water usage for houses. The system is built with an ESP32 microcontroller, pH sensor, Turbidity Sensor, Flow Sensor, and LCD. The pH sensor tracks water's acidity or alkalinity concentration to ensure it is within one level for safe drinking. The flow sensor tracks how much water is used at any point, while the turbidity sensor measures turbidity to indicate purity. Once the data from the sensors are displayed on an LCD, it is further transmitted to the Thingspeak IoT platform for remote monitoring and analysis. The system includes an alert component, beeping whenever there is a problem with water quality or when abnormal sensor readings continue beyond pre-set threshold values. This instant feedback allows users to take immediate corrective action, protecting water quality and aiding in the responsible use of this vital resource. This technology offers a robust and on-demand solution to household water monitoring regarding usage and quality trends. The IoT-enabled water management solution provides a scalable approach to conserving resources and protecting public health. This paper aims to present the architecture, implementation, and performance evaluation of a large-scale multi-SAN semantic overlay focusing on its practicality for smart home environments.
