Abstract
The recently advancement in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has brought new distributed sensing applications such as water quality monitoring. With sensing capabilities, using parameters such as pH, conductivity and temperature, the quality of water can be known. This paper proposes a novel design based on IEEE 802.15.4 (Zig-Bee protocol) and solar energy for autonomous water quality monitoring prototype (AWQMP). The prototype is designed to use ECHERP routing protocol and Adruino Mega 2560, an open-source electronic prototyping platform for data acquisition. AWQMP is expected to reduce the cost of manual water quality monitoring due to its autonomous characteristic. Moreover, it will help to study the behavior of aquatic animals in deployed water bodies.
