Abstract: The increasing urbanization and industrialization have led to significant pollution of water resources, posing a serious
threat to public health. Ensuring the quality of drinking water is paramount for maintaining human well-being. This paper
presents an IoT-based system utilizing the ESP32 microcontroller for real-time monitoring of drinking water quality parameters.
The proposed system employs a combination of sensors to measure key water quality indicators such as pH, temperature,
turbidity, and conductivity. These sensors are interfaced with the ESP32, which processes the sensor data and transmits it to a
cloud platform for remote monitoring and analysis. The ESP32's low- power consumption and Wi-Fi capabilities make it an
ideal choice for this application. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system in accurately
measuring water quality parameters. The data collected from the sensors is visualized on a web-based dashboard, providing
users with real- time insights into the drinking water quality. The system's ability to detect anomalies and trigger alerts enables
timely intervention to address potential contamination issues. .

I. INTRODUCTION
The IoT-based drinking water quality monitoring system presented in this paper offers a reliable and efficient solution for ensuring
the safety and purity of drinking water. By leveraging the capabilities of the ESP32 and cloud-based technologies, this system can
contribute to improving public health and environmental sustainability.The primary problem addressed in this project is the lack of
real-time monitoring and efficient management of drinking water quality, particularly in areas affected by urbanization and
industrialization. Specific challenges include contamination from industrial effluents, agricultural runoff, and other pollutants,
