Wireless Sensor Network-Based Water Quality Monitoring System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Water is vital for both nature and human beings. The construction of dams and embankments, the irrigation practices, and the anthropogenic activities influence water quality. In order to control water quality, it is essential to understand the sources of pollutants. Water quality monitoring requires the collection of large numbers of samples and long delays until the results are available. Therefore, rapid monitoring of water quality is very important. In this respect, numerous systems exist for this kind of automatic monitoring. In this study, we propose a wireless sensor network (WSN)-based monitoring system controlled by a web-based online interface which allows the remote monitoring via Internet. This brings advantages over traditional monitoring systems in terms of cost effectiveness, portability and applicability. Field tests in the water reservoir of Kirklareli (Kirklareli dam), Turkey, are in progress.
