Abstract

This research article explores the growth and deployment of IoT-enable sensor networks for -time water quality monitoring and contaminant modeling in urban basin. The cogitation predictably presents a refreshing framework integrate innovative sensor technologies with swarm-ground data analytics to treat the challenges of water contamination in dumbly live country. The methodology imply the blueprint of a broadcast sensor network of appraise key water quality parameters such as pH, turbidness, and dissolved O. Data garner from the detector are processed using machine learning algorithms to predict contaminant trends and name possible informant of befoulment. Volunteer a scalable solution for urban water management, resultant demo the organisation's high accuracy in -time monitoring and prognostic modeling. The discourse foreground the implications of this technology for environmental sustainability and provision. By delineate succeeding research directions to enhance system robustness and exposit its application scope, the article conclude.
