Abstract
Water pollution is one of the most pressing environmental challenges worldwide, affecting ecosystems, human health, and economic activities. Conventional water quality monitoring techniques involve manual sampling and laboratory analysis, which are often time-consuming and ineffective for real-time monitoring. Automated water quality monitoring systems offer a promising solution by leveraging advanced sensor technologies to provide real-time data on key water quality parameters. However, one of the major challenges faced by these systems, particularly in remote areas, is the availability of a sustainable power source. This paper explores the integration of solar power in automated water pollution monitoring systems, ensuring continuous and autonomous operation. The system comprises solar panels, batteries for energy storage, a range of water quality sensors, data loggers, communication modules, and control units for efficient monitoring. The benefits of such a system include reduced operational costs, improved data accuracy, and enhanced environmental sustainability. This paper discusses the components, methodology, and advantages of a solar-powered water pollution monitoring system, emphasizing its significance in modern environmental management strategies.
