All plants and animals needs water to survive. If there will be no water then there will be no life on the earth. Apart from drinking water, people have so many uses for water. It is most essential that the water which people drink should be clean and free from germs and bacteria with good ph value. This means that the drinking water must be free of germs and chemicals and should not be cloudy. Water that is safe for drinking is called potable water. Water systems obtain water from two main sources: surface water and ground water. Surface water is that water which gets collects on the ground or in a stream, river, lake, reservoir. Ground water is collected from well or bore well. A water tower is an elevated structure constructed at a height sufficient so that it will pressure water distribution system for the supply of water for drinking, and also for emergency storage in case of accidently fire occurs. Good water quality is important for the health of our aquatic ecosystem. Processing real time data for environmental protection and tracking pollution sources is a prime importance to protect quality of water. So here we have discuss specially about the water quality of water tower which is provided for the drinking purposes. Here, we have come up with a new idea for testing of quality of water of water tower on the regular basis. Keywords ph scale, Water level, Xbee, 8051, VB.NET I. INTRODUCTION Water is the basic need for all the living things.the main factor of water is quality. The drinking water must be with estimate quality. In residential area, water has to supplied regularly without compromising with is quality. Water quality is one of the major consideration along with the continuous supply of portable water. The conventional water distribution and management system has a disadvantages that it causes wastage of water due to overflow and sometimes interrupted water supply. There are water treatment community like ASTM's water which testing standards are instrumental in specifying and methods and facilities used in examining the various quality like ph, oxygen parameters of and contaminants in water for health, security, and environmental purposes. These water testing standards alarms the concerned local operators and government authorities, water distribution departments, and laboratories to test the quality of water and ensure safe consumption of drinking water. Although these water methods are used for testing the water quality but it is done in 6 months or in a year. So continuous testing of water is not done regularly. Here we have design a system which check the water quality as well as the water level continuously. Our system will focus primarily on water quality and present some practical design solutions using simple circuit with the help of micro controller. Prevention measure the water level of elevated water tower is done with the use of use of level sensors and ph scale and passes the information using a low cost Xbee to the base station for monitoring and control stage of water II. BACKGROUND In this section, there are two sub section which explains the present method of water level checking and water monitoring system. 1) Water level checking Figure 1 shows a basic tower water function. Every water tower of an area is control by an operator office which is several kilometers away for them. If Operators wants to turn on the motor which will fill the water tower from his office. He will switch on the motor and set an alarm. For every water tower of an area All rights Reserved 596

2 will set the alarm according to its capacity. Suppose for tank A he will require half an hour to fill he set an alarm for half an hour and tank B requires 40 minutes to fill the tank he will set an alarm of 40 minutes for its. Here the disadvantage is that when the alarm gets over the operator will turn off the motor assuming the water is filled in the tank without having any knowledge about the water level in the water tower. 2) Water Testing Figure 1: Basic water tower As per the health of aquatic ecosystem good water quality is very essential. Continuous water quality monitoring is an important tool for water distribution departments, processing real time data for environmental protection and tracking pollution sources. Hence it is prime importance to protect quality of water. Currently, water quality is measured by collecting the water samples at regular intervals for the chemical analysis in the laboratories. The disadvantage of this approach are, it is time consuming and pricey for personnel to collect water samples in laboratories to test and repeat the same procedure for different water tower. Therefore there is need for real time, on-site, water quality monitoring system which can deliver continuous data at an acceptable cost. III. WORKING A) Hardware In our system, we are using a water level sensor level monitoring and ph sensor for quality. Zigbee and micro controller are used for the serial communication. When the operator turns on the motor water level start increasing. The water level sensor which consist of IC-LM358 will detect the 3 water level and update the information to the micro controller 89E51RD2 and the data is transmitted to the receiver zigbee at the operator s side. Addition to thiswe are also checking the water quality i.e the ph level of the water. The sensors are analog in nature so we will require an ADC0809 circuit which will convert into digital value will be given to controller which again transmit the data to the receiver s zigbee and update the information. Figure 2and 3 shows the system layout of transmitter and receiver side. Power supply ADC 8 Max232 PH scale Water Level To receiver Figure 2:System layout at All rights Reserved 597

3 At receiver end, B) ph scale Figure 3:System layout at Receiver A Pure water is having 0 value on the ph value. When an acid is dissolved in water, the value of ph will be less than 7. When alkaline is dissolved in water, the ph will be more than 7. More strong is the acid less will b the value of ph, such as hydrochloric acid whose concentration level is 1 mol dm 3 has a ph of 0. A solution of a strong alkaline for example sodium hydroxide whose concentration level is 1 mol dm 3, has a ph of 14. Thus the ph values will lie mostly in the range 0 to 14. Figure 4: ph Sensor The ph solutions can be measured with a glass electrode and a ph meter, or indicator. C) Importance of PH in human life Figure 5: ph Scale Human blood has a normal ph value of According to Merck Manuals Online Medical Library, Ph value of blood or 7.35 to 7.45, or slightly alkaline is optimal for proper body functions When the ph levels of blood or other bodily fluids fall out of the ph range due to adverse metabolic or respiratory conditions then some of the common health problems that may result because of high acidity, include Acceleration of free radical damage Bladder weakness kidney problems Cardiovascular weakness Immune system weakneses Acid buildup resulting in joint pain D) Software Hence, its very important to maintain the PH level in human body. We are designing the GUI part with the help of.net which includes a very large class library known as Framework Class Library (FCL) and provides language interoperability across several languages and for serial communication also.visual BASIC.NET is a high level All rights Reserved 598

4 language which evolved from the earlier DOS version called BASIC. BASIC means Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. It is a very easy programming language to learn. The code look a lot like English Language. Different software companies produced different versions of BASIC, such as Microsoft QBASIC, QUICKBASIC, GWBASIC,IBM BASICA and so on. However, people prefer to use Microsoft Visual Basic today, as it is a well developed programming language and supporting resources are available everywhere. VB2010 are fully object oriented programming (OOP) language. VISUAL BASIC.NET is a VISUAL and events driven Programming Language. These are the main divergence from the old basic. In basic, programming is done in a text-only environment and the program is executed sequentially. In VB, programming is done in a graphical environment. In the old BASIC, write program code for each graphical object you wish to display it on screen, including its position and its color. However, In VB, you just need to drag and drop any graphical object anywhere on the form, and you can change its color any time using the properties windows. On the other hand, because the user may click on a certain object randomly, so each object has to be programmed independently to be able to response to those actions (events). Therefore, a VB Program is made up of many subprograms, each has its own program code, and each can be executed independently and at the same time each can be linked together in one way or another. For any serial communication we have to use form of.net Figure 6 shows the different levels of water and the value of the ph scale which will be updated during the operations. Figure 6: GUI implementation of Proposed method IV. CONCLUSION Over held water monitoring system using zigbee focuses on various entities such as water level and water quality. These can be done with the help of ph scale and water level sensors of different locations. Future aspects consists of chlorine sensors, dissolved oxygen and potassium parameters in water. Applying this possible experiment can be use to monitor the water characteristics and water level of the water tower.
