Abstract

In the coastal area of Bangladesh drinking water is short supply at everywhere for its
complex hydro-geological forms. Furthermore, natural disaster, trans-boundary river
issues make safe water supply difficult as compared to other portions of the country. Toxins
from industrial sources may involve worry against accomplishing all-inclusive and impartial
access to protected and reasonable drinking water for the coastal areas. it very well may be
said that drinking water supply near the house is essential human right and fundamental for
leading healthy life. To lessen the water related illnesses and prevent water contamination,
we need to quantify water parameters, for example, pH, turbidity, temperature. For exact
observing of water quality, we built up an IoT based water quality measurement system
which is low cost and sustainable. In this work we proposed a smart sensor interface device
that can sense the water quality parameters and effectively generate data in an online system
for showing real-time measures of water quality parameters. It integrates drinking water
quality measurement by different types of sensors These sensors are connected with Arduino
for the purpose of monitoring the parameters of water quality. For transmitting the values, we
create a serial communication between Arduino and NodeMCU which will show the data on
an online system (web interface). A QR code will be attached with every water source for
accessing it easily by any user. They can scan the QR to get sure whether the water is safe to
drink or not. The Government can use this system to get information of area’s water quality.
Our developed system can be also implemented on agriculture related applications and in
industrial fields. The design, development and implementation of an IoT based system will
help the authorities take the necessary steps to perform proper solutions for the affected area.
