Applications of Raspberry Pi and Arduino to Monitor Water Quality Using Fuzzy Logic

摘要

Water is one of the most important natural resources that must be monitored, analyzed continuously for safety and survival of human life. The traditional method relies on collecting water samples, testing, and analyzing the water samples in specific laboratories which is not only cost effective but also causes access latency, and delay in disseminating the information among the end users. The huge growth of wireless technology and VLSI design has brought a tremendous change in developing small microsensors that are being utilized for various monitoring applications since the last decade. In this paper, an effort has been made to measure the drinking water quality with less cost in a hardware platform with the help of some water-related Sensors, Raspberry Pi, and Arduino Microcontroller. The proposed method utilizes the Fuzzy Logic algorithm and the experimental result shows that the proposed method has many more advantages over traditional systems. It is also observed that the proposed system works effectively in a real-time environment with immediate response and less cost.
