Groundwater feasibility test system by using wireless sensor network

Abstract

Water is one of the most important natural resources for human life. Water is used by the community for bathing, drinking, cooking and for other consumptive needs. Therefore, the water quality must be maintained cleanly. It is not uncommon to find water that is not suitable for use because it is turbid and smelly from its source. Things that must be considered to assess good water quality are pH, oxygen levels dissolved in water, conductivity, water temperature, water turbidity, salinity (salt content), zinc content and so on. The testing of groundwater quality is a better alternative than the testing that has been done manually and requires expensive costs. The measuring devices are made by using sensor circuit that is controlled by Arduino. Monitoring is done by using a web application that is stored on a server where the server also communicates with Arduino with the help of the SIM800L module. The results showed that the system ran well. The sensors succeed in detecting water quality and data communication between sensors, servers and clients ran well.
