• Resumen

  • Water is an essential resource for life sustainability. The lack of infrastructure, in many countries, leads to a limited access to this natural resource and to almost 1 million deaths per year due to un- safe water consumption. This paper introduces an autonomous system for water monitoring and treating in reservoirs, following an Internet of Things (IoT) approach, granting to users of the water distribution sys- tems the best quality of this resource. The proposed solution relays on sensors to collect data concerning the water on the reservoir, actuators to deploy chlorine to treat this water and performing the filtration pro- cess, and an IoT middleware platform to allow the communication with smart devices. Then, users can easily access the information collected by the system. In this work, it was used the In.IoT middleware. The sensed information is transferred through a Wi-Fi wireless network. The solution was evaluated, demonstrated, and validated through a reduced scale prototype and it is ready for use.
