IoT based Smart STPs System for Efficient Sewage Water Treatment of Holy Rivers during Mahakumbh

Abstract

The escalating demand for effective wastewater treatment for safeguard Holy River’s water for maintaining its authenticity for the events like Mahakumbh is essential. For this, it is necessary to develop an efficient smart Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) system to add pure water in rivers from various waste water sources.  In this context, this paper presents a smart IoT technology based STPs model to improve its overall performance and improve water quality. The proposed model utilizes various sensors to monitor and acquire water quality parameters like pH level, temperature, and turbidity. A microcontroller based automated system continuously monitors and analysed real-time data of various sensors to take action to maintain the water quality and efficient operation of the plant. Based on predefined conditions, the proposed model can automatically control STPs equipment’s like motor operation, valve adjustment, and aeration. In addition, collaborative action of IoT technology made it effective for remote monitoring and control, whenever any abnormal conditions occur. Thus, this automated model make it effective for remote operation and control, reduced human intervention, chances of mal-function, and reliable operation of the STPs. It also contributes to environmental protection and promotes sustainable water management.
