Smart Drinking Water Quality Maintenance System

K.S.Tamilselvan, Dr.G.Murugesan

Abstract

The development of many industries in recent years causes water pollution in many natural water resources. To reduce this pollution effect an effective water monitoring system is developed for industrial water outlet unit. Continuous monitoring and controlling of water flow attached with a web camera is proposed in this paper, which is used to capture images continuously and if it encounters a signal flow, then the system analyses the signal and informs the microcontroller about the flow of water by generating a signal which in turn controls the water flow accordingly. Along with this provision, a detection system is also established with a colorimetric sensor. The colorimetric sensor is used to detect the toxic contents in the water. A pH sensor is used to monitor the water pH level and if it exceeds a threshold value then it controls the water flow accordingly. All system together monitors and ensures the water purity level and maintains the water quality.
