Tracking and Notification Enabled Remote Water Quality Monitoring System

Abstract

Many countries in the world, in particular the least developed ones, face the challenge of unhealthy drinking water. In this paper, the design and implementation of a trackable and notification-enabled remote water quality monitoring system prototype is proposed to mitigate this problem. The system is aimed at remotely monitoring the quality of water in fixed or erected and motorized or mobile storage water tanks. The system can be adopted for use by countries to enhance their rural villages’ water supply schemes and to help remote villages have access to clean and healthy drinking water. Besides quality monitoring, the system also features location tracking in the case of motorized tanks, which get transported to different destinations as part of the rural water supply schemes.
