A Distributed Wireless Sensor Network for Online Water Quality Monitoring

An application of distributed wireless sensor network for online water quality monitoring is proposed. In this paper, the architecture, hardware and software designs of the system are presented. A friendly WUI and HUI are developed to allow the users monitor the water parameters being measured in real time via Internet by PC or remote smart mobile devices. Several preliminary results of test to evaluate the reliability and effectiveness of the system are also discussed. The work in this paper is devoted to provide a feasible solution to the problem of water pollution monitoring with advantages such as low cost, real time, easy installation and maintenance and so on.
