Implementation of an IOT Sensor Network and Machine Learning to Measure the Water Quality

Abstract:

Lagoons have a great importance for society, and activities such as fishing or tourism are essential for these areas, for this reason it is important to have a monitoring system in terms of water quality. The central axis of this project was the design and implementation of a sensor network based on the Internet of Things, collecting data using an ESP32 and the Thingspeak platform for data visualization and storage. Data is analyzed using MATLAB, allowing to obtain an estimation of the water quality index of Laguna Jucutuma indicating an average rating of 40, as well as using Machine Learning techniques to obtain a models with an error margin below 3%.
