INTRODUCTION
Earth is known as the "Blue Planet" because seventy-one percent of the
Earth surfaces are covered with water (Mullen, 2012). Water also exists below
land surface and as water vapour in the air. Water is a finite source. Technology
nowadays incredibly elevates its functions and scope. Technology are can be
used for environment conservation and improvement”. Water is one of the most
essential sources in terms of living. Water is one of the reasons to keep living
things alive. Also it is the necessity of human on earth. To preserve living things
we must keep maintaining the water source clean and orderly.
In Asian countries are now facing serious water pollution problems, even
while they are enjoying the full benefits of economic growth in the region. This
may lead to the degradation of the living environment, as well as a decrease in
available water (Water Environmental Partnership in Asia, 2015). This aims to
solve water pollution especially to Japan. In Asia, water issues extremely
increasing like scarcity and contamination on water supply. While human using
water the ability of it also has the possibility to lead in the usage and quality of
the water resources that can affect to human health.

“From 2006 to present the Environmental Management Bureau monitored
164 water bodies, comprising principal rivers, minor rivers, lakes and marine
waters based on the set beneficial use. “Water Quality Monitoring and
Assessment (PEM, 2016). The Philippines is rich in different body’s water such
as lakes, ponds, falls, oceans and rivers. Philippines also rich in different marine
resources, this includes different diversity species such as renewable gases,
fishes and other marine animals. But we cannot sustain it because of continues
increasing of population that can cause scarcity and water pollution, to satisfy
their own needs, they use many harsh ways like dynamite fishing that can affect
for water pollution and slowly decrease the water sea creatures.
The Projects Related to Developing a dependable water quality analyser
for selected rivers in Quezon City is supported by the Republic Act No. 9275 or
otherwise known as the Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004 the Article 1, Section
2 states that:
“The State shall pursue a policy of economic growth in a

manner consistent with the protection, preservation and revival
of the quality of our fresh, brackish and marine waters. To
achieve this end, the framework for sustainable development
shall be pursued.”

also turbidity sensor for monitoring the amount of water hyacinths that is
important because they also compete for light with phytoplankton and for DO with
aquatic species. Similar to Water Quality Analyser which has a turbidity sensor
that identify the clarity and cloudiness of the water in the river that can help also
to easily know if the river’s water is safe for the resident to use.
Table 3 shows the computed weighted mean of the water level analysis
and verbal interpretation according to the correspondent’s view of the system in
concern of the dependable water quality analyser.
In the respondent’s evaluation, they assumed that the system is very
beneficial and it able to easily monitor the rivers water level condition to avoid the
risk of people living besides in the river’s area.
The system has been showed by Caubalejo et al (2013) of Mapúa Institute
of Technology integrated a Flood Detection System with Automatic Branch Circuit
Cut-off Capabilities and SMS-Based Warning Transmitter. Their system aimed to
ensure the safeness of people by the incoming flood by turning off the electricity
in certain branch circuits and alerting the authorities of the threatening danger
through a small scale prototype. The main purpose of their system is for the
residents to avoid their risk through the use of their system. While in Water
Quality, it use ultrasonic
sensor to know the level of the water in the river and warned them by notifying
36
the residents through android application and GSM module device, ultrasonic
sensor is also help to avoid the phenomenon risk for the residents.
The system has been showed by Neha.LS. Khaire et al(2017) they
formulated the project entitled Water Management System for management of
water by using Embedded System and Smart phone app, Android app for
indexing the water consumption and showing graphical analysis of water used
with an extra-ordinary comparative consumption done. Their system used
ultrasonic sensor to calculate total water in a tank and water flow sensor to
capture the flow of water from tank they used also Arduino to compute details
and then the data is sent to local server via Wi-Fi to also easily report information
about their water consumption. In Water Quality Analyser it used ultrasonic
sensor to identify the current level of the water in the river that will notify the
correspondents via Wi-Fi through the use of android application and GSM
module.
Therefore, a highly acceptable result was provided by the Selected River’s
Respondents.
Develop a dependable water quality analyser to provide daily report

through Android application and with the use of GSM Module sensor.
37
Table 4 represent the corresponding weighted mean of the daily report
management and verbal interpretation as to the correspondent’s view of the
system in concern of the dependable water quality analyser of the system.
In the respondent’s evaluation, they presumed that the developed system
is able to give back an accurate result of daily report management, it is also
capable to display and print of the Water Quality Analysis reports through android
application, if the sensors alarm based on its function it sends the report to the
administrator.

The same study showed by Vitales et al (2015) of College of Engineering
and Computing Sciences of Batangas State University, formed a project entitled,
Portable Water Level Monitoring System via SMS. The purpose of their study is
to develop a device that warns people an hour or more than an hour before the
devastating phenomena by using text messaging in which the country’s leading
means of communication, because of damages and lives taken by the typhoon
Ondoy and other super typhoons, same as Water Quality Analyser which used
GSM module device for alerting people of the current condition of the river in
Quezon City.
The same study has been showed by Abdullah et al (2015) of American
International University-Bangladesh developed a project entitled Water Level
Indicator with Alarms Using PIC (Peripheral Interface Controller) Microcontroller.
Their project shows a design of a water level indicator with PIC microcontroller.
Their project is applicable for both container and main tank in home or industries.
There is also buzzer and LCD that was used to show the level of water in both
container and main tank. The purpose of the Buzzer is used to create a siren to
stop the pump or water coming channel, while in Water Quality Analyser has
GSM module device for only notifying people for the condition of the water in the
river.

the system.
The respondents acknowledged that the Dependable Water Quality
Analyser is help to minimize the manual process and more help for the
environmental ecosystem especially for the rivers ecosystem; it is also capable to
show accurate Water Quality Analysis to the administrator via android application
to generate daily, weekly, monthly and annual report.

Chapter 6
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the Conclusion, Recommendation and
Implementation Plan of the Water Quality Analyser.
Conclusion
41
The project developers therefore concluded that the general objectives
have been successfully met the client`s wants. The Water Quality Analyser
developed for the Selected Rivers in Quezon City has been designed to achieve
and to maintain the daily monitoring of the river. The android app uses Android
Studio as front end and MySQL as a backend for the database. The system is
strong enough to withstand regressive daily operations under conditions where it
is connected to the internet and the database is maintained and connected. The
implementation of this system in the organization will considerably reduce time
and effort and easily monitoring of the river’s condition also provide readily
calculated reports.
Recommendations
Based from the finding and conclusion formulate in this research study,
there are plenty of rooms of improvement in the system from which it may
possibly encountered as technology advance as it will make more ways to
accommodate the needs of the company and to improve the system.
For Information Technology Students, they should look for an
opportunity to make this as a research study as they have similar purposes as for
it could provide ideas that may help the students to create a more schematic
42
system with the use of existing devices, languages and sensors; and also with
the hope of upgrading the developed current system.
for Information Technology Instructors, they should make a room for
developing a study ground for future developers with the use of android
application from which it would help them to increase their skill set as they
prepare themselves to their own careers;
For the Institute of Computer Studies, they should create an
environment from which both students and instructors can explore a more
suitable training ground for using their skills and talents. The importance of a
more suited community will drastically affect the students learning outcomes;
For Environmental Protection and Waste Management Department
Head, they could adapt the system into their business from which they could
create a more profitable outcome as they utilized the system. They should create
a more schematic way of providing a more detailed description of project and its
availability on their business; and
For the Future Project Developers they should provide a better system
that can easily monitor and analyse water quality that can help more for the client
and for the correspondents of the project to use a better and more easy to use
system for their company. Also highly recommended for the developer to provide
43
a better devices that can help for the river’s ecosystem to maintain its cleanliness
and also for the respondents to avoid their health-risk and avoid disaster to them.
Implementation Plan
The implementation plan will determine how long the project will be
applied on the respective company. The attachment of the project is expected to
be done within the seven days of the implementation plan which it includes the
setting up of the devices included windows application and the android
application from which will be installed on the administrators and employees
phone this includes a test run from the system to test if iit’s functioning properly.
First, the project developers propose request letter for the developed
system for allowing the system to be installed for the perspective river in Quezon
City.
Second, is the installation of the system in rivers in Quezon City. This
includes orientation for the client about the guidelines on how to use the system.
Third, is testing and troubleshooting the system if there are any technical
issues to be troubleshot and also to test the system if it is well-functioned.
The last is monitoring of the system to know more the system and to know
more the improvement needed by the system.
