Abstract
Water is the most important natural element present on earth for humans, yet the availability of pure water is becoming scarce and decreasing. An increase in population and a rise in temperatures are two major factors contributing to the water crisis worldwide. Desalinated, brackish water from the sea, lake, estuary, or underground aquifers is treated to maximize freshwater availability for human consumption. However, mismanagement of water storage, distribution, or quality leads to serious threats to human health and ecosystems. Sensors and embedded and smart devices in water plants require proactive monitoring for optimal performance. Traditional quality and device management requires huge investments in time, manual efforts, labor, and resources. This research presents an IoT-based real-time framework to perform water quality management, monitor, and alert for taking actions based on contamination and toxic parameter levels and device and application performance as the first part of the proposed work. Machine learning models analyze water quality trends and device monitoring and management architecture. The results display how the proposed method manages water monitoring and accesses water parameters more efficiently than other works.
