Abstract

This paper explores integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technologies with cloud-based analytics for effective water quality monitoring in smart cities. As urban populations grow, the demand for safe and clean drinking water intensifies, necessitating innovative solutions to monitor water quality in real-time. The proposed IoT-driven system employs a network of sensors to continuously collect data on critical water quality parameters such as pH, turbidity, and contaminant levels. This data is transmitted to cloud platforms where advanced analytics are applied to interpret the information, enabling timely responses to potential contamination events. By leveraging real-time monitoring capabilities, municipalities can enhance public health outcomes and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. The paper also discusses case studies demonstrating successful implementations of IoT-based water quality monitoring systems, highlighting their effectiveness in urban management.
