Desenvolvimento de um sistema de monitoria da qualidade da água potável com base em internet of things (IOT)

Abstract

Water is an essential element for life on our planet, requiring global initiatives and innovative technologies to preserve this precious resource and transform available water into drinking water. This work proposes the development of an intelligent automation system to monitor the quality of drinking water, using the Internet of Things (IoT). Initially, an analysis of the data required to implement an existing water quality monitoring system was carried out, followed by the construction of an IoT-based system. The advantages of this system include early detection of problems, cost savings, improved water quality, increased operational efficiency and improved decision-making. The functional prototype was designed and tested, revealing that careful integration of real-time sensors and comprehensive testing were key to ensuring the system's cohesion and reliability. Flexible integration strategies contributed to the robustness of the system, which cost 25,156.32 Mts to implement, with a sample of 10 clients. For future improvements, we suggest adopting LoRaWAN technology to extend coverage over large areas, integrating pH and turbidity sensors for a more complete assessment, and reinforcing security measures such as TLS or SSL encryption to guarantee integrity and confidentiality. These optimizations aim to increase the efficiency of the system, making it more effective in water quality management
