Abstract :
Water is a ubiquitous chemical substance that is composed of hydrogen and oxygen and it is vital for all known forms of life. Clean, fresh drinking water is essential for human and other life forms. Access to safe and hygienic drinking water has improved steadily and substantially over the last decades in almost every part of the world. Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies that occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies, which is a major problem in the global context and it leads to dangerous water-borne diseases and physical deformities. In this paper, a new methodology is proposed to continuously monitor the impurities that present in the water. The impurity content in the water can be monitored and indicated by a microprocessor controlled instrument.
