Abstract

Over the past few months, waters in and around Peninsular Malaysia have gradually succumbed to a fair degree of pollution. Chemical waste and oil spills are the major, primary forms of water pollution threatening Malaysia’s waterways. For example, an article published in the New Straits Times on 14 March 2019 reported a total of 2.43 tonnes of chemical wastes were collected from Sungai Kim Kim in Pasir Gudang during the cleaning process and caused hundreds of people got sickened by toxic fumes. The most common method to detect these parameters is to collect samples manually and then send them to laboratory for detecting and analyzing. This method wastes too much manpower and material resource, and has the limitations of the samples collecting, long-time analyzing, the aging of demonstration equipment and other issues. IOT based Water Quality Monitoring is a device that helps to define the water quality parameter such as pH value, turbidity level, dissolved oxygen, and temperature of the water. The device will monitor and measure the water quality of water bodies around Malaysia. The system is designed to help prevent the degradation of lake and rivers to continue deteriorate without monitoring or prevention. It also helps user to understand the suitable conditions of water bodies in Malaysia. The device will have equipped with multiple analog sensor that connect to Arduino UNO. An application called IFTTT also will be used to personalize the system with a notification or alert system by using push notification services to their smartphone. This will help the user to act wisely and to continue monitor with precaution. The data collected by the sensors will be displayed into application called Blynk. Blynk platform helps to connect IoT environments to our smartphone. As result, we will gather all the samples to make a conclusion of suitable for water supply with a conventional treatment required, suitable for sensitive aquatic species and suitable for recreational use with body contact.
