Abstract: The entire water treatment and management process is a challenging and time-consuming process. Traditional methods, if continued to use for the next ten years, might never lead to improvement in the water scenarios. Therefore, a smart water quality measurement and its treatment is utmost important. The proposed model suggests the use of latest and advanced technological equipment to detect the abnormalities at a faster rate and carry out the treatment with equal efficiency and speed. The main aim of the proposed system is to determine the physical parameters of impure water such as temperature and turbidity and treat these parameters to its standard values to make the wastewater suitable for reuse. The encouraging results obtained using the proposed system demonstrate that it is able to measure the temperature and turbidity of impure water and bring the values of these parameters to its desired level in real time.

Keywords: water quality monitoring; treatment; temperature; turbidity; IoT; sensors; microcontroller; cloud computing.
