Application of Wireless Sensor Network in Water Quality Monitoring

Abstract

One of the most important resources for human well-being and a major factor in a nation's socioeconomic development is water. In addition to being necessary for human survival and that of all other living things, water is also essential for industrialization and agriculture. The total amount of water on Earth is constant and sufficient to supply all of civilization's needs, yet global supplies of drinkable water are running out quickly.  If not managed properly, human activities such as population growth, the release of hazardous chemicals into the environment, the untreatment of sewage, climate change, and others have an impact on water supplies in densely populated areas. Furthermore, because water is not distributed equally around the world, problems with availability and shortage arise from non-uniform, unsustainable, and unfair allocation. Due to limited access to potable water, people throughout the majority of the world utilize contaminated water that is infected with disease-carrying vectors and inappropriate levels of various pollutants for drinking and cooking. We selected India as a test case for this paper because, while on the one hand, it is becoming one of the most powerful countries in the developing world and has one of the fastest-growing GDPs, on the other hand, the country faces numerous obstacles to economic prosperity because of its rapidly expanding population
