Smart Remote Control for Water Pollution Monitoring

ABSTRACT Water pollution is a serious environmental issue which is mainly caused by industrial waste, harmful chemicals, and other contaminants. The good quality of water is essential for the survival of plants, animals, and humans. Traditional water quality monitoring methods involve manual sample collection and laboratory analysis, which are time- consuming and inefficient. To overcome these limitations, we propose an IoT-based water quality monitoring system for real-time assessment of water bodies. The proposed system measures various parameters like pH, turbidity, temperature, and humidity using sensors and determines whether the quality of water is good or polluted. It also provides recommendations on suitable aquatic flora and fauna based on the recorded values. The sensors are mounted on a self- navigating boat, which moves over the water surface to collect real-time data. A propeller system enables forward motion, while a servo motor mechanism allows directional control via a joystick-controlled mobile application.
