In this paper, real-time water quality monitoring system of small water supply facilities based on IEEE 802.15.4e-2012 DSME MAC and IEEE 802.15.4g-2012 PHY standard is presented, which is capable to acquire for highly reliable water quality information in the wide outdoor areas for effective water quality management of small water quality facilities is distributed in the long distance and remote areas. Previously, Long distance transmission is difficult in most water quality sensor module is using RS-485 protocol. But with this system, even in harsh outdoor environment, it is possible to establish a radio wave sensor in a wide area network, and not only water quality sensor shall be connected to the wireless system, but also wireless integrated management system shall provide more effective way of management of the numerous small water supply facilities spread throughout the community, so that the administrator can remotely monitor the data of water turbidity, pH, residual chlorine in the water-supply, water-level, and generate alarm to cope with risks. The management of small water facilities is done by residents will be very effective to notice water quality information of small water facilities to residents.

This work presents a smart water quality sensor for hydroponic plant growing applications. The proposed sensor can effectively measure pH level and electrical conductivity of the water solution. The micro-controller incorporated in the sensor processes the raw sensor data, and converts it into a readable format. In addition, through the mobile interface realized using a WiFi module, the sensor can send data to the web server database that collects and stores the data. The data stored in the web server can be accessed by a personal computer or smart phone. The prototype sensor has been implemented, and the operations have been verified under an actual hydroponic plant growing application.

The rapid water pollution in stream, river, lake and sea in recent years raises an urgent need for continuous monitoring and policymaking to conserve the global clean environment. In particular, the increasing water pollution in coastal marine areas adds to the importance of the environmental monitoring systems. In this paper, the mobile server is designed to gathers information of the water quality at coastal areas. The obtained data by the server is transmitted from field servers to the base station via multi-hop communication in wireless sensor network. The information collected includes dissolved oxygen(DO), hydrogen ion exponent(pH), temperature, etc. By the information provided the real-time monitoring of water quality at the coastal marine area. In addition, wireless sensor network-based flooding routing protocol was designed and used to transfer the measured water quality information efficiently. Telosb sensor node is programmed using nesC language in TinyOS platform for small scale wireless sensor network monitoring from a remote server.

최근 인천, 서울 적수 사고와 같은 관로 내 수질오염 사고가 지속적으로 발생되고 있다. 이러한 수질문제를 인지하기 위해서는 적절한 위치에 수질계측기를 설치하고 미리 계측하여 수용가의 수도꼭지까지 물 공급이 되기 이전에 발견 혹은 차단할 필요가 있다. 그러나 모든 관로에 수질계측기를 다수 설치하는 것에는 유지비용증대와 같은 한계점이 존재한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 관로 내 수질문제 인지를 위한 유속기반의 수질계측기 설치위치를 결정하고 우선순위를 선정하는 방법론을 제안하였다. 제안된 절차를 관 파괴 시나리오와 국내에서 실제 운영 중인 비상연계관로가 포함된 관망운영 시나리오에 적용해 수질계측기 위치를 결정하고 결과를 분석하였다. 결정 결과 개별적인 관로의 파괴와 비상연계에 의한 비정상상황 발생시 대수용가와 탱크 주변, 그리고 비상연계관로 인근에 위치한 관로의 유속이 급격히 변하여 탁수발생에 의한 수질사고가 나타날 수 있을것으로 나타났다. 제안된 유속기반의 수질계측기 위치 결정 절차는 향후 관 청소를 위한 차단 및 비상관로 운영 계획 수립 등 수질모니터링 지점 선정 기법으로 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 USN환경에서 수질 모니터링 시스템을 설계함에 있어 센서 데이터를 효율적인 방법으로 전송하기 위한 다양한 시도를 소개한다. 대표적인 방법은 센서노드에서의 센서 매니지먼트와 싱크노드에서의 클러스터링이다. 센서 매니지먼트는 센싱 간격, 데이터 누적, 데이터 전송 등을 총괄적으로 관리하고, 클러스터링은 데이터 마이닝 기술을 접목한 효율적인 전송 데이터의 축약방법이다. 실험을 통해서 제안한 센서 매니지먼트와 클러스터링을 이용한 전송방법이 일반적인 센서 데이터 전송방법에 비해 얼마나 더 효과적인지를 확인할 수 있었다.

Remote sensing and measurement are of paramount importance of providing information on the state of water quality in water bodies. The formation and growth of cyanobacteria is of serious concern to in land aquatic life forms and human life. The main cause of water quality deterioration stems from anthropogenic induced eutrophication. The goal of this research to quantify and determine the spatial distribution of cyanobacteria concentration in the water using remote sensing technique. The standard approach to measure water quality based on the direct measurement of the fluorescence of the chlorophyll a in the living algal cells and the same approach used to detect the phycobilin pigments found in blue-green algae (a.k.a. cyanobacteria), phycocyanin and phycoerythrin. This paper propose the emerging sensor design to measure the water quality based on the optical analysis by fluorescence of the phycocyanin pigment. In this research, we developed an method to sense and quantify to derive phycocyanin intensity index for estimating cyanobacteria concentrations. The development of the index was based on the reflectance difference between visible light band 620nm and 665nm. As a result of research this paper presents, an optical biological sensor design information to measure the Phycocyanin parameters in water content.

It takes lots of time and labor if a worker have to measure the water quality at a certain but designated time every day in an un-automated aqua farm. In addition, if the equipment is soaked in the sea water consistently, it will be contaminated by diverse floating matters and barnacles, and it often becomes mal-functional within 2~3 months. Therefore, we need to develop a system with which the sensed data could be checked in real time and operated automatically, while preventing the contamination of the sensor, a crucial component for water quality measuring equipment, as much as possible, and increasing the replacement cycle. We have developed a non-cleaning water quality measuring equipment and its software which are used in the fishery household of offshore aqua farms. By providing the workers with a mobile application which has a function of monitoring the water quality in real time, they can check the situation directly without going to the fishery household.

We have proposed a novel planar lightwave circuit (PLC) optical sensor to monitor the contamination in a flow-cell where water is continuously supplied through a water quality measurement system. We designed a PLC chip with a V-shape waveguide and the simulated its function as a sensor for monitoring contamination in a flow-cell using a numerical the FDTD (finite-difference time-domain) analysis. A novel cross type of waveguide was introduced to make the PLC chip of the V-shaped waveguide. The fabricated PLC was cut into the cross waveguide. A change in the optical propagation loss of the PLC sensor was observed after immersing the PLC sensor into city water. It was determined that the propagation loss of the PLC sensor was 3 dB at a wavelength of $1.55{\mu}m$ in the city water for 15 days.

Purpose: This study was performed to develop a simple, disposable thin-film optical nitrate sensor. Methods: The sensor was fabricated by applying a nitrate-selective polymer membrane on the surface of a thin polyester film. The membrane was composed of polyvinylchloride (PVC), plasticizer, fluorescent dye, and nitrate-selective ionophore. Fluorescence intensity of the sensor increased on contact with a nitrate solution. The fluorescence response of the optical nitrate sensor was measured with a commercial fluorospectrometer. Results: The optical sensor exhibited linear response over four concentration decades. Conclusions: Nitrate ion concentrations in plant nutrient solutions can be determined by direct optical measurements without any conditioning before measurements.

Recently, interest in concrete quality has been increasing. It is important to manage these factors due to unit-water content and aggregate quality that affect concrete quality. In this study, the unit-water content of concrete was measured through an economical, easy-to-measure, and portable Frequency Domain Reflecmetry sensor among micro-methods that compensated for the shortcomings of existing concrete unit-water content measurement methods. As a result of predicting the unit-water content, the accuracy within the ± 10 kg/m³ error range was confirmed to be more than 72% of all factors. In order to ensure high accuracy, it is considered necessary to conduct an experiment to evaluate the unit-water content by conducting additional experiments according to other variables and factors.
