Aquaguard: Iot Based Smart Water Contamination Alert System

Abstract

Water is vital resource for life. Drinking safe water is important aspect for a healthy life. In modern world water 
pollution is one of the major causes for various types of water-borne diseases, 40% of the deaths worldwide are 
caused by water pollution. The clean and safe drinking water is getting depleted every second hence water 
purification is todays need. World bank estimates that 21% of communicable diseases in India are related to 
unsafe water, contamination has been a long-standing problem in our country. The older methods are unable to 
monitor the water quality in real time and notify the user about the contamination. So, it is necessary to develop 
a real time water quality monitoring and notification system. Smart solutions for water quality monitoring are 
gaining importance with advancement in communication technology. Water quality depends on pH, turbidity, 
temperature along with some other factors are significant, and will be monitored by the system using sensors, 
through wifi system the sensor output data is sent to concern authority for further steps to improve water quality.
