Water Quality Monitoring System Using WSN in Tanga Lake

Abstract

Continuous Lake water quality monitoring is an important tool to a different aspect which includes catchment management authorities, providing real-time data for environmental protection and tracking pollution sources in lakes around ANNABA reagent. In order to assist catchment managers to maintain the health of aquatic ecosystems taking into consideration a cost-effective water quality data collection a low-cost low power system is proposed. The proposed system is constituted by spreading the sensor nodes and the base station. The nodes and base stations are linked using WSN technology (e.g. Zigbee). Base stations will be connected to the Internet using the Ethernet shield. The results indicate that a reliable monitoring system can be designed with appropriate calibration of sensors; this will allow us to continue monitoring the quality of the water at higher spatial resolution.
