Abstract

This project shows off an IoT-based water quality control system made for use in rural villages.  As the need for clean drinking water grows, especially in areas that lack access to it, this method helps address some of the most critical issues in ensuring water safety and quality.  The proposed system connects a network of sensors that are strategically placed in the village's water supply system to monitor key parameters, including pH level, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, chlorine levels, temperature, and conductivity.  These sensors provide real-time data wirelessly to a central computer, where it is processed and analysed.  We use advanced algorithms to identify unusual patterns, predict future events, and detect possible contamination incidents.  If the water quality standards are not met, the system sends alarms and messages to the right people so that they may take action quickly and fix the problem.  The method also enables those in charge of villages and water management to monitor and control things from a distance, allowing them to address water quality issues before they become problems.  To raise awareness and encourage participation among locals, community engagement is stressed. This encourages a group approach to managing water quality.  The system's potential for growth and longevity is emphasised, ensuring it remains effective even as village dynamics change and resources become scarce.  By using an IoT-based solution, rural villages can make it easier for people to access safe drinking water, reduce health risks, and improve their overall health.
