Smart Water Monitoring System for Real-Time Water Quality and Usage Monitoring

This paper aims at designing a Smart Water Monitoring System (SWMS) for real-time water quality and usage monitoring. It consists of two parts: Smart Water Quantity meter and Smart Water Quality meter. The objective of designing Smart Water Quantity Meter is to ensure water conservation by monitoring the amount of water consumed by a household, notifying the same to the consumer and the authority. A three-slab billing system generates consumption bill according to the quantity consumed. The Smart Water Quality meter checks the purity of portable water that the consumer receives, by measuring five qualitative parameters of water viz. pH, temperature, turbidity, dissolved oxygen and conductivity. The system ensures to prevent any health hazards or potential threats caused due to accidental seepage of sewage or farm release into the portable water. An online monitoring system is to provide these data on the cloud in real-time. Any violations in either the usage limit or water quality is immediately notified to the consumer and authority via SMS and an alert signal generated by the system.
