  💧 Water Quality Monitoring Systems By Praveen Kumar R, EEE Dept, Agni College of Technology Water Quality Monitoring (WQM) is the process of collecting data on the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of water bodies to ensure safety, sustainability, and compliance with environmental standards. With increasing pollution and climate variability, automated WQM systems have become essential tools for real-time water management. 🔍 Traditional vs. Automated Monitoring Traditional WQM relies on manual sampling and lab analysis—accurate but labor-intensive and slow. Automated WQM uses sensors and telemetry to measure parameters like pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO), and electrical conductivity (EC) continuously and remotely. 🧪 Key Parameters Monitored Physical : Temperature, turbidity, color, EC Chemical : pH, DO, BOD, nitrates, ammonia Biological : Algae, bacteria, viruses 🌐 Real-Time Monitoring in India The Ganga River WQM Network , under the NGRBA project, is ...
