Abstract – In order to ensure the safe flow of the industrial sewage water the quality needs to be monitored in real time. Here, we present a design and development of a low cost system for real time monitoring of the water quality in IoT (internet of things). The system consists of several sensors which is used to measure physical and chemical parameters of the water such as temperature, pH, turbidity and salinity. The measured values from the sensors can be processed by the core controller. The IoT device can be used as a core controller. The processed data is stored in the cloud. Further calculations are done at the server side by retrieving the values from the cloud and reports are generated accordingly.

also lowers the air quality in surrounding areas which causes many respiratory disorders. The effects of industrial pollution are far reaching and liable to affect the eco-system for many years to come. Most industries require large amounts of water for their work. When involved in a series of processes, the water comes into contact with heavy metals, harmful chemicals, radioactive waste and even organic sludge. These are either dumped into open oceans or rivers. As a

of our eco-system. The same water is then used by farmers

With the coming of the Industrial Revolution, humans were able to advance further into the 21st century. Technology developed rapidly, science became advanced and the manufacturing age came into view. With all of these came one more effect, industrial pollution. Earlier, industries were small factories that produced smoke as the main pollutant. However, since the number of factories were limited and worked only a certain number of hours a day, the levels of pollution did not grow significantly. But when these factories became full scale industries and manufacturing units, the issue of industrial pollution started to take on more importance. Industrial pollution takes on many faces. It contaminates many sources of drinking water, releases unwanted toxins into the air and reduces the quality of soil all over the world. Water pollution and soil pollution are often caused directly due to inefficiency in disposal of waste. Long term exposure to polluted air and water causes chronic health problems, making the issue of industrial pollution into a severe one. It Š 2017, IRJET

for irrigation purpose which affects the quality of food that is produced. Industrial waste water contains pollutants which when freely discharged into river bodies leads to both physical and chemical changes to the environment such as coloration, biological condition, reduction in quality and quantity of the biotic floral of the human aesthetical assets. As a result of this the cost of pollution control is climbing rapidly. If untreated waste water is allowed to accumulate, the decomposition of the organic materials it contains can lead to the production of large quantities of the malodorous gases. The untreated waste water usually contains numerous pathogenic or disease causing micro-organisms that dwell in the human intestinal track or that may be present in certain industrial waste. Waste water also contains toxic components which are let out from the industries. The motivation behind the proposed system was to design a real time monitoring of water quality in a simplest and cost effective manner by measuring Temperature, Turbidity, pH , Salinity in water using Aurdino Board and different sensors in IoT Environment and notifying respective authorities about their water quality. In our design Aurdino Board is used as a core controller. The design system applies a specialized IoT module for storing sensor data (simulated)
