A Novel Approach for Implementation Water Quality Parameters Test System Using Embedded On-Chip Design Arduino Tool

The Problem After Oxygen, Water is the most important element required for the life to sustain (third element -Food is anyways depended on the Water & Oxygen) While nearly 71 percent of the Earth is covered by water, only 2.5 percent of it is fresh, out of that only 1% is available for consumption, suggesting all life (except marine) on the planet has to sustain with this small percentage of water, However, even this small percentage of Water – due to human interventions – is being polluted to an extent that the life – that the water is supposed to be– is becoming reasons for many deaths. Water pollution is one of the biggest threats to today’s world. Every year 3,575,000 people die from water-related diseases. This is equivalent to a jumbo jet crashing every hour. Most of these people are children (2.2 million). That is, a human being every 10 seconds, due to the scary effect of dirty water diseases Our country too faces this serious issue of water pollution. This issue gets magnified during the natural calamities. For example, after the recent floods in Kolhapur & Satara, the drinking water was so contaminated that more people suffered due to waterborne diseases than the flood itself. Even the World Health Organisation (WHO) has tracked the risk of the aftermath of floods due to waterborne diseases. During such an unfortunate event, if we can have a small portable and cheap device, which can help people check the Quality of Water, before consumption, it can help save many lives [1]. Existing Solutions & Our Proposal:- In the present scenario, water parameters are monitored by a chemical tester laboratory test, where the testing equipment is stationary and samples are provided to testing. Thus, it is a manual system with a tedious process and is very time-consuming. Most of the time in developing nations- like ours- water quality is checked in the laboratory only after some disaster or outbreak of water-borne diseases. Such tests are costly and never real-time. The ideal solution to this issue would be to make water quality monitoring equipment portable, cost-effective, and easy to use. This project is one such attempt, to allow everyone to check the quality of the water they are drinking, as Quality Drinking Water should be the basic Human Right [10].
