A Real-Time Monitoring and Contamination Detection in Water Distribution Systems using 32-Bit Microcontroller

-The aim of the Proposed Project is a Microcontroller based Low-Cost Sensor Network for Real-Time Monitoring and Contamination Detection in Potable and nonPotable Water Distribution Systems and also updates the information to the consumers and concerned authorities by using GSM module. In the existing system, it is just monitor the water level and electrical conductivity manually (off-line) and report to concerned authorities only in metropolitan areas. The objective of the p r o j e c t is to present a conceptual model of embedded based r e a l t i m e monitoring the water quality and also contamination detection for both potable and non-potable water distribution systems. In this proposed system we are using different sensors for water l e v e l and contamination detection. The main goal is the design and development of low cost system that can be used at the premises of consumers. This system can also be used in customer oriented manner to continuously monitor qualitative water parameters and fuse multi parametric sensor data for assessing the water quality.A 32-bit Microcontroller and associated sensor network can detect water contamination continuously according to water conductivity and temperature. Depends on these p a r a m e t e r s microcontroller computes the other related contaminants and transmits same data to consumers and some authorities by using GSM module. Our approach is based on the development of low cost sensor nodes for real time and in-pipe monitoring and assessment of water quality on the fly. The main sensor node consists of electrochemical and optical sensors which can be used to monitor the water quality. From the sensor node we are sending monitored values to control room (ARM board) through RS232 serial cable.
