Designing a Mobile Application for Pool Water Quality Monitoring Based on the Internet of Things

Abstract

Changes in temperature, pH, and turbidity in concrete fish ponds greatly impact to the fish survival. Initial observations showed that among 3.067 fish seeds, 1.633 fish (53%) died and only 1.434 fish (47%) was successfully harvested. The application of water quality monitoring devices from concrete pools designed based on the Internet of Things technology has been tested. The monitoring equipment will not function optimally without an application that functions to receive monitoring data and then take action. Pool water quality monitoring equipment connected to the cloud using a GSM network connection. The recorded data is then displayed on the water quality monitoring application that designed using the Android operating system. Application design is developed using a User-Centered Design approach, where the design process was carried out by considering several variables: ease for use, clarity of information delivery, the fulfillment of needs, and appearance. Based on the results of the design evaluation, weaknesses can be determined, namely, difficulty to find the search menu for click history data, find the refresh button, read the results of searching for historical data, and read data in tables and graphs. Based on this, further improvements can be made to improve the application being made. The monitoring equipment is expected to provide information to pond managers to immediately take action if changing in pH and temperature beyond the limit so that the fish mortality rate can be minimized.

Application of Blockchain Technology in Water Rights Trading in the Irrigation Area under the Internet-of-Things Environment

“…rough functional layering, the maintainability of the application can be greatly improved and the development cost can be reduced. Figure 5 indicates the blockchain application system [29][30][31].…”

Research on smart city public health detection system and improvement technology based on intelligent multi-objective

“…Firstly, water quality monitoring in the traditional sense necessitates water sample collection, which is then analyzed in a laboratory. However, this process is both time-consuming and laborious and does not enable changes to be monitored in real time ( 3 ). Additionally, certain pollutants may have low concentrations and could potentially go undetected by conventional detection methods.…”
