ABSTRACT: This paper presents a prototype of an Integrated Cloud-Based Wireless Sensor
Network (WSN) developed to monitor pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen
parameters from wastewater discharged into water sources. To provide realtime
online monitoring and Internet of Things (IoT) capability, the system collects
and uploads sensor data to ThingSpeak cloud via GPRS internet connectivity
with the help of AT commands in combination with HTTP GET method.
Moreover, the system sends message alert to the responsible organ through
GSM/GPRS network and an SMS gateway service implemented by Telerivet
mobile messaging platform. In this prototype, Telerivet messaging platform
gives surrounding communities a means of reporting observed or identified
water pollution events via SMS notifications.
