IoT Enabled Solar Powered Water Purification System for Rural Areas

According to research, rather than depending on the unpredictable rain or transporting water from far places, the purification of water from the available water in that particular geographical location is considered as a permanent and best solution. to quench the thirst of the rural areas and to overcome the problem of the drinking water scarcity. For example, purification of sea water or contaminated water in that particular location. Our work is the solution for the above-mentioned problem as it brings a remedy by assembling a water purification system that works on Renewable energy. The purification system works based on the principle of Reverse Osmosis (RO). Solar powered energy is the main source of the purification system. The battery provides the uninterrupted power supply to the system which is connected through a charge controller which prevents overcharging. A Buck boost converter is connected between the battery and the purification unit. The purification unit consists of an air mass motor, reverse Osmosis (RO) system and a water storage tank. The air mass pressure holds out reverse diffusion. The microcontroller 8051 checks water level and the pH value of the pure water in the storage tank and prevents it from overflowing.
