REAL TIME SYSTEM FOR DETERMINATION OF DRINKING WATER QUALITY?

Clean drinking water is important for health and well being of all humans. Assessment of quality of water in large water distribution systems involves taking of random water samples and testing it in laboratories. Since this process is time consuming and requires man power, this paper presents an approach to determine the quality of water automatically using low cost and in-pipe sensors. Here an array of sensor node is developed to assess the quality of water. Algorithms are developed for fusing the data collected by the sensors. ZigBee transceiver and GSM transmitters are used to transmit the collected data to the server. This paper also provides the techniques to resolve water contamination.
