IOT RIVER POLLUTION MONITORING SYSTEM USING LORA

A robust river water quality monitoring system is important to collect crucial
data sets that shows the health of our local rivers and determine any pollution present.
These data sets are necessary to determine the most proactive action to maintain the
river ecosystem, depending on the levels of pollution. Current methods make use of
sophisticated river monitoring stations and manual in-situ water quality testing, which
poses equipment and labour cost when deployed in large numbers. This project aims
to present a method of developing a low-cost, low-power water quality monitoring
device capable of long-range communication to a cloud analytic service with LoRa
technology. The device proposed acts as a LoRa sensor node equipped with three water
quality sensors measuring turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), and temperature,
respectively.
