Assessing Water Quality Index Near Industrial Regions and Aiding in Effective Water Management and Controlling Water Pollution Level

For development, industries are prerequisite. And for setting the industries, one prime resource which is much needed is - Water. Water, as a resource is equally important not only being used in the production of goods, but also for discharging the harmful chemicals and hazardous waste, as the other method of discharge would cost high to the industries. The discharge of waste and chemicals affect the TDS (Total Dissolved Salts) in water, EC (Electric Conductivity), PH level, Temperature of water etc, and hence alters the Water Quality Index. According to UNEP, The amount of waste-water which goes untreated, which contains everything from human waste to highly toxic industrial discharge, globally accounts for 80%, and the authorities responsible for checking and treating the water are unaware of such happening, causing ultimate damage to the humans, flora and fauna.This paper presents an IOT-based solution to curb the water pollution level by alerting the concerned authorities as soon as the discharge of chemicals by the industries or water is being polluted, thus aiding not only in controlling water pollution level but also in effective water management by categorizing the water, as per its usage in household, industry, etc.
