A Prototype for the Remote Monitoring of Water Parameters

Continuous real-time water parameters monitoring is a necessity in the context of contemporary water resources management. There is an important research direction towards the development of monitoring systems, which make use of wireless sensor networks for water parameters acquisition. In this paper, we present our on-going work and preliminary findings on the development of a water parameters monitoring system. We propose a prototype for monitoring water parameters that uses wireless sensor networks for data acquisition. Moreover, we describe a usage scenario for the proposed prototype that is aimed at detecting accidental pollution in rivers.
