Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been called the next Industrial Revolution or the next evolution of the Internet. It will impact how businesses, governments and consumers interact with the physical world through Internet-connected sensors, cameras, handheld devices, smartphones and other smart IoT devices. Due to pollutions, water quality needs to be monitored frequently. Therefore, a smart water turbidity level measurement system with wireless data transmission based on Arduino hardware platform is developed. The developed system is used as a tool for water monitoring by collecting data from the turbidity level sensor. In addition, the collected data is sent to Mobile Apps using the two ways of wireless connection which Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The range of high or low-level parameters was identified from the sensor. Hence, this project could solve the current problems in water pollution and has a high potential to be commercialized for application in environmental monitoring.
