A system architecture for water quality monitoring system using wired sensors

This research paper proposes an aarchitecture for implementing a water quality monitoring system for the aquaculture industry. The system would enable monitoring of the water quality remotely via GSM. Conventional method used by aqua farms requires technical staff to visit ponds at designated time and perform manual testing on the water quality. Consequently, the technique consumes a lot of time and effort. This research project would focus on developing a prototype that can evaluate data collected through three criteria: Dissolved oxygen level, pH level, and temperature level. The system would also be able to send alert messages upon detecting degradation of water quality in the pond via SMS. © 2008 IEEE.
