ABSTRACT

Nowadays, the river is no longer clean like it used to be where people mostly throw
rubbish and other unwanted materials into the river, hence contaminating the water.
Water river should be safe for all people to use as water is the main source in daily
life. Currently, the quality of water in the river is difficult to determine its level of
safety just by looking with eyes. The clarity of the water can be seen with naked eyes,
but the level of cloudiness of the water is unknown and cannot be measured with the
eyes. The specific devices must be used in order to detect the clearness of water but
most of the devices are not widely used and expensive. Hence, this project proposes to
develop a prototype that can measure the turbidity or the clearness of water to
determine whether the water in the river is safe or not and publish the information
online to the people. The prototype developed was tested with sensitivity and
functionalities test. Prototype developed using a turbidity sensor to measure water
turbidity and using Arduino Uno microcontroller to calculate the turbidity and sent it
to Thingspeak cloud database and a website through the internet. The results show that
this prototype system is able to measure the turbidity, determine whether the current
water turbidity is dangerous and provide this information to be stored in the
Thingspeak database and publish on the internet. The system is able to provide useful
information, the website is well designed and users had good experience using the
prototype.
