Development of a Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring Platform with Advanced Data Analytics

The client faces significant difficulties in processing and maintaining large volumes of complex, real-time water quality data from numerous IoT-enabled sensors deployed in remote and hard-to-access locations. The existing system is limited in scalability, outdated telemetry data interpretation, and manual data processing, leading to delays in detection of contamination sources and suboptimal operational response.

A utility company managing extensive water quality monitoring infrastructure across multiple remote sites, aiming to enhance real-time data collection, processing, and management of water parameters.

• Automate and streamline the collection, processing, and analysis of live water quality data from up to 100 remote devices
• Enhance data visibility through real-time visualization and analytics dashboards
• Improve device management with centralized controls for device configuration, reagent management, and user access
• Implement geo-location features for quick identification and troubleshooting of device issues
• Establish robust notification and alerting systems for operational anomalies, errors, or critical conditions
• Provide comprehensive educational resources for system operators to facilitate effective system use and maintenance
• Design a scalable, secure, and resilient architecture capable of supporting future expansion and integration

• Multi-phase data processing architecture for handling raw data and ensuring real-time analytics
• An interactive geolocation map for device status monitoring and location identification
• Device management module for adding/removing devices, reagent configuration, and permission control
• Real-time data visualization including dynamic charts and reports for over 40 water parameters
• Preset and customizable data filters for rapid data analysis and onboarding
• Role-based access control (RBAC) with customizable user roles for secure data and feature access
• Automated notification system for machine errors, warnings, and operational alerts
• Educational material repository supporting multiple formats (images, PDFs, videos) for system operators

• Telemetry middleware for data acquisition from water sensors
• Notification systems for alert dissemination (email, SMS, in-app alerts)
• Mapping services for geospatial device location visualization
• User management systems for authentication and permissions
• Educational content management platforms

• System should support data processing for over 100 devices simultaneously with minimal latency
• Real-time data updates and visualization with a target refresh rate of less than 10 seconds
• Role-based access control ensuring secure data sharing and user permissions
• High system availability with 99.9% uptime
• Scalable architecture to accommodate future device expansion and feature additions

The implementation of this real-time water quality monitoring platform is anticipated to significantly reduce manual data processing efforts, enhance early detection of contamination events, and improve operational responsiveness. By automating data analytics and providing instant visibility into water conditions, the client aims to increase system uptime, ensure regulatory compliance, and support proactive water management strategies, ultimately leading to more reliable water quality control and cost efficiencies.
