Abstract
Health of human beings, animals, and plants depends a lot on the quality of drinking water. There are many sources of drinking water such as lakes, canals, reservoirs, etc. Manually monitoring the water quality of these water bodies requires lot of effort as operators need to get in a boat with all the sensors and manually check the entire water body. In this work, to ease the water quality monitoring of water bodies, a remote control (RC) boat was used. This RC boat accompanied by different sensors was used to measure the PH level and turbidity level. When there is a deviation of water quality parameters from the standard values, the system will send an alert message to the remote user. Water quality was measured using two different sensors such as PH, temperature and turbidity sensors. PH sensor monitors the PH value of water and the turbidity sensor will find the suspended or unwanted particles in the water. The location from where the data collected from pH sensor, Turbidity sensor, and Temperature sensor was determined by using the GPS module. The measured values were displayed on the LCD. This data with respect to the location will be stored in the SD card and also the system will alert the user by sending a message with location, when the RC boat is about to sink and/or if the measured water quality is abnormal.
