A Portable Water Pollution Monitoring Device for Smart City based on Internet of Things (IoT)

It has been observed that by 2050 more than 5 billion people could be affected by water crises due to increases in demand and water pollution. Potentially unhealthy conditions will need monitoring. This arising problem can be controlled or overcome by sharing the awareness of water acidity, temperature, salinity/conductivity, turbidity, contaminants etc. of surrounding water sources and then taking appropriate action. The purpose of this study is to design a sensor node and a sensor network strategy to monitor water pollution of a water source. The system is intended to cover a larger water area by implementing multiple portable sensor nodes on same network.
