Abstract

Access to clean water remains one of the most pressing challenges, particularly in developing regions where traditional testing methods fall short—either too slow, too expensive, or simply inaccessible. This research introduces a practical, portable solution for real-time water quality monitoring, blending smart sensing technology with geo-intelligence. The proposed device integrates a microcontroller, an array of essential water quality sensors (including pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and conductivity), and a GPS module to collect and tag data across diverse water sources. It’s lightweight, cost-effective, and designed for deployment in both rural and urban settings. Data is processed locally and pushed to the cloud, making it instantly available to environmental agencies, local authorities, and even concerned citizens. More than just numbers on a screen, this system paints a live picture of water conditions across a region, enabling quicker decisions and targeted interventions. Ultimately, it's about empowering communities with the tools to safeguard their most vital resource.
