Zigbee-based The Acequia Water Quality Monitoring System Design

Now the pollution of water in China is very serious. It has seriously threated to theecological environment and sustainable development of agriculture.At present, China'swater quality monitoring techniques is still relatively backward, basically relying onmanual detection in the laboratory. It can not timely detect anomalies of water quality. Itcan not meet the needs of monitoring water quality of irrigation channels. So it isnecessary to design a remote automatic water quality monitoring system.This topic designs a real-time online remote water quality monitoring system formonitoring the real-time changes of water quality in the agricultural irrigation canals,basing on the Zigbee wireless communication technology.The system is comprehensiveuse of modern and advanced online water quality testing technology, Zigbee wirelesssensor network technology, GPRS mobile communication technology, computernetwork technology and computer database technology. One natural village is amonitoring unit of the set of online real-time water quality monitoring system. Themonitoring center is located in each villages, and is responsible for water qualitymonitoring the irrigation canals around entire villages.The water quality monitoring of Irrigation channels system can collect thetemperature, pH, turbidity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and flow rate of the water inthe agricultural irrigation canals. In addition it can transport and story the collected dataof water automatically. When the data is not unusual, it can send alarm automatically.So it timely detects and Deals with the sudden pollution events.It meets the needs ofmonitoring water quality of irrigation channels.
