Intelligent water quality monitoring using WSN and Machine Learning Approaches

In recent years, wireless sensor networks (WSN) have received considerable attention in environmental, industrial monitoring, and control applications. It is used to monitor, collect, maintain, and analyse environmental data from a remote place with the help of remote sensing and monitoring technologies. Identification of suitable algorithms and protocol WSNs for water quality monitoring is a challenge due to the limitation of energy, computation capability, and storage resources of the sensor nodes. In this paper, we designed a model for a WSN-based water quality monitoring system that employs a machine learning technique to analyse water data and facilitates decision-making. The suggested model can gather water quality parameters from a water body and send them to a distant data centre, where they will be processed using a machine learning (ML) algorithm. The experiment shown that by adopting WSN and ML approach, we can obtain state-of-the-art 0.0723 RMSE and 0.0052 MAE, indicating that the proposed methodology is appropriate for usage in intelligence water quality monitoring.
