Smart Well Monitoring System

Water is a basic need for human survival. In India, 60 % of population lives in villages. Wells and bore-wells are the important sources of water for the farmers and the villagers. However, due to the vast increase in global industrial output, pollution and the over-utilization of land resources, the quality of water available in wells and bore wells to the villagers has deteriorated. The high use of chemical fertilizers in farms has also contributed immensely to the overall reduction of water quality in villages. Therefore, there must be mechanisms put in place to vigorously test the quality and quantity of water and guide the villagers about the utilization of the water available to them. The availability of good quality water and the knowledge about its utilization is paramount in preventing outbreaks of water-borne diseases as well as improving the quality of life. The wells and the bore wells in villages requires a frequent data collecting network for the water quantity and quality monitoring and IoT can improve the existing measurement and also an user-friendly android application providing the information to the villagers and farmers about the well water in their area will be a boon. Today, Internet of Things (IoT) and sensing techniques are used in different area of research for monitoring, collecting and analysis data. This paper presents a smart well water quality and quantity monitoring system based on IoT, Cloud computing and android application.
