The impact of human activity, such as agriculture, mining, etc, altered the environment. The pollution of rivers, lakes, and seas is a matter of paramount concern with significant implications. Water is a primary human survival resource. Moreover, water has the potential to influence the well-being of organisms and the environmental ecosystems around us, making a substantial contribution to maintaining the earth’s overall health. It is essential for us to find mechanisms and resources that allow us to monitor water quality.
A new article published recently on “Sensors.” the study suggested a new method to monitor water quality in real-time using photoreceptions and LEDs. Photoreceptions are used at 90 degrees and 180 degrees of the light sources, and a microcontroller is used to power the light sources and obtain information from photoreceptions.
In the future, this prototype can be used in real conditions and control eutrophication in sensitive areas. It can be a good help to minimize the negative effects such as environmental damage and problems in water supply.
