Tell us what the water concern in your country is!

Waterborne diseases resulting from flooding, industrial wastewater management strategies, and arsenic and iron contamination mitigation. Slow and costly testing methods.

This is what I think is one of the solutions for a sustainable future:

Treat water by using cost-effective and eco-friendly technologies by using renewable energy and also using artificial intelligence, machine learning for rapid contamination detection.

AI Based Rapid Water Testing System

This research presents a next-generation AI-powered rapid water testing system designed for real-time, high-precision water quality monitoring in both industrial and domestic settings. At its core is the ESP32-C6 microcontroller, integrated with a 1.47-inch TFT display for immediate, on-site data visualization. The device utilizes five complementary analytical techniques; capacitance measurement, resistance analysis, ultraviolet (UV) exposure, infrared (IR) absorption, and Raman spectroscopy to evaluate water quality within seconds. These multi-modal sensing approaches enable the system to detect a wide spectrum of contaminants. Capacitance and resistance measurements help identify inorganic ions, dissolved salts, and microbial presence. UV and IR absorption offer rapid insights into organic pollutants, while Raman spectroscopy provides detailed molecular fingerprinting. Collectively, these techniques allow the estimation of key indicators…
