Description
Summary:The need for environmental monitoring has grown with the publics increasing interest in the state of our ecosystem [1]. Water quality monitoring is an aspect of environmental monitoring that is pertinent in preserving our water resources and establishing measures to prevent pollution. With this rise in environmental interests comes a need for new technology to monitor certain aspects of our water resources. This paper proposes a very cost effective way to monitor water quality using wireless sensor networks (WSN) which will be implemented at North Carolina A&T State University's farm.
