Abstract

The world suffers from the problem of pollution of water resources, which greatly affects the life of the individual and the community, because water is an urgent need for the survival of man and all living things on earth. Water pollution may be the main reason for ending life on the planet and is defined as any chemical or physical change in water quality, whether directly or indirectly, making it unsuitable for the required uses. In this paper, the problem of pollution of the Nile water in Egypt is discussed and the role of the Egyptian government in coordination with the Ministry of Environment to develop the necessary plans to reduce the pollution of the Nile River and also to monitor the water quality, to confront the incidents of water pollution and reduce the negative damage resulting from them. Hence the importance of the IOT "Internet of things" in real time monitoring the quality of water of the Nile River to extract the necessary data from each remote sensor "Nods" installed at specific distances along the River Nile. The System proposed in this paper includes a NODE MCUmicro controller connected to four main sensors such as Temperature sensor, Dissolved Oxygen sensor, pH sensor and Turbidity sensor which selected to measure its parameter that determine the quality of water used in different cases of experiments proposed in our practical work then the NOD MCU sends and displays all those data in real time through thing speak server website. From the data extracted from each sensor during the proposed experiments, we can monitor, analyze, evaluate and determine the water quality parameters of the Nile River compared to The World Health Organization (WHO) standard for Drinking-water quality.
