Internet of Things and Geographical Information System based Monitoring and Mapping of Real Time Water Quality System

Abstract

the monitoring of water quality is very much essential to maintain good health and provide support for 
making decision in environmental issues. The main properties of the water are a natural solvent that dissolves 
everything it touches. Nowadays, modern sensors are playing vital role to continuously monitor quality and to 
provide high resolution, quantitative and validated measurements. In this paper, a new model is proposed to 
monitor water quality parameters based on high level communication technology Internet of Things (IoT) and 
integrated with Geographical Information system (GIS). The measured water quality parameters were stored in a 
cloud in IoT for controlling purpose. Based on the contamination and variation of water quality parameters the 
embedded controller automatically provides control signal to normalize the drinking water level by delivering 
chemical compound to the pipeline water. The entire system utilizes solar power for their functioning. The 
proposed system is very useful to monitor and control water quality of pipeline water. The proposed system is 
useful for water distribution system of government. They can monitor and control the water quality parameter 
variation using mobile phone or computer with internet facility. The integration of Geographical Information 
System(GIS) with sensors is able to detect the quality of water status.
