Drinking Water Monitoring in Mosul City Using IoT

Mosul is one of the cities of Iraq, which was attacked by fierce terrorist organizations called ISIS since 2014-2017 destroyed all the infrastructure of the city. After liberation the city from ISIS by the Iraqi forces had to return to normal life and repair all the destroyed topic of the city. The most important of these topics is for return drinking water and elimination of water pollution by testing and monitoring the water in real time with modern technology to use the best drinking water in addition to reach Mosul city as a smart city. In this paper, designed and implemented the proposed system by using internet of thing with low cost and instant results for the purpose of testing drinking water in real time for many important parameters of the water, such as Temperature, pH, TDS, Turbidity, and Conductivity,. Each parameter can be measured by the sensor. All these sensors connected to the Arduino UNO model can be used as a core controller and send the data to the internet through the Wi-Fi module (ESP 8266). Finally, the sensor data can be viewed on the internet using ThingSpeak API for the purpose of collecting information, analyzing and sending it for display on LCD or Mobile or Laptop. The results were compared with laboratory results in the “Right water project/Mosul”. The proposed system was very powerful, short time to execute, very cheap, and highly efficient. The results for the proposed system is approximate to the Laboratory results by 98.6 %.
