Design and development of real-time and portable water quality monitoring system for agriculture irrigation
Abstract
Water pollution in developing countries continues increase every year, almost every river as one of water sources have been polluted from low to high levels. Polluted river water unconsciously used by agricultural business actors as an irrigation source for their agricultural land which indirectly causes damage for yielding and planting media. In order to find out the quality of irrigation water used, a minimum parameter of quality of irrigation water is needed, namely pH, TDS, and temperature. The parameter value is sent to smartphone via Bluetooth connection and can also be accessed through the website because the device can be connected to the internet. The parameter data can be stored in graph files or tables. This device successfully measures pH, TDS, and irrigation water temperature accurately with an accuracy rate of+5% with an optimal distance of 7 meters with Bluetooth connection and with a 720 mAh battery, this device can be used continuously for 2 hours in full working condition. Energy usage when device is fully work are 1.09 watts. This device can continuously monitor the quality of irrigation water used, so agricultural entrepreneurs can control the water used for irrigation sources better.
