AQUAMAG: Smart Water Quality Monitoring through Internet of Things

Abstract

One of the most fundamental needs of humanity is water. It is essential to provide clean water for human consumption. This research aims to design and build a functional water monitoring system to guarantee a safe water supply. Using the AQUAMAG device and web-based platform, the water quality is assessed in real time, and the current water status is monitored. There is a webpage for viewing all the recorded data from the database for analytical monitoring purposes. At the same time, the device sends a message notification to the user for the water condition update. The evaluation-based ISO 25010 standards showed end-users remarkably accepted the device attributed to the accurate turbidity and pH sensors. This water monitoring mechanism can help the user visualize if the water source is polluted or contaminated through a water quality test. With its efficient application and practicality, it has excellent potential for the community. Hence, a portable and user-friendly device that can be used within households and establishments as an alternative way of checking water quality before using it can be developed. Relatively, the study can raise awareness on water quality in the community through the developed device, which can also avoid illnesses caused by contaminated water.
