<b>WATERNET: A CUTTING-EDGE NETWORK FOR MONITORING WATER QUALITY TO ENSURE SAFE DRINKING AND IRRIGATION PRACTICES</b>

Water is indispensable for the existence of all living organisms, including humans and vegetation. Despite its significance, high-quality water is not always suitable for industrial activities, domestic use, or human consumption. The water's viability for human or public consumption may be compromised by a variety of factors that alter or establish new standards. This category encompasses industrialization, mining, pollution, and natural disasters. The permissible quantities of specific contaminants in water samples intended for irrigation or ingestion are specified by the World Health Organization's regulations. The overall condition of water is evaluated using two metrics: the Water condition Index (WQI) and the Irrigation WQI. The quantity of a variety of substances in water is quantified by these indicators. The collection of water samples from a variety of locations, their evaluation for various properties, and the subsequent comparison of the results to the standards may prove to be a difficult task due to the necessity of utilizing distinct transportation and measurement methods.
