Smart water quality detector

Water pollution is a critical threat to public health and ecosystems, particularly in regions like Selangor, where water supply disruptions are increasing due to contamination at water treatment facilities. The Smart Water Quality Detector (SWD) offers an innovative solution by leveraging advanced sensors, IoT connectivity, and data analytics to continuously monitor water quality parameters, including pH, electrical conductivity, and dissolved oxygen. This real-time system enables early detection of polluted water before it reaches treatment centers, preventing blockages and minimizing delays in water supply. Traditional water monitoring methods are manual, costly, and prone to damage with prolonged use. SWD overcomes these limitations with a cost-effective, durable design that ensures accurate, automatic monitoring while reducing operational costs and extending sensor lifespan. It also provides early alerts to communities, allowing for preparedness and immediate corrective actions to avoid health risks from contaminated water. Aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), SWD promotes sustainable water management by reducing pollution and ensuring access to safe water. This innovation offers a robust and accessible solution, addressing water quality challenges effectively and enhancing environmental and public health protection
