Abstract: WSN system is the recent and cost effective system for monitoring and controlling the environmental applications. It is also a demanding task to use efficiently the energy harvesting system (EHS) technology for WSN. The system performs the measurements using integrated peripherals to process the measured data as well as to co-ordinate the data transport of the WSN to work. Basically River mote is a case study for designing a low cost hardware system architecture combining low-power mote and a highly efficient EHS architecture. The main requirement of this system is continuous operation using Energy Harvesting System. The work includes first the water level monitoring platform using only the ultra-sonic sensor and second the PH balance to know the toxicity present in water. This system provides a real-time guidance to those industry that depends on regional water quality conditions like industry, agriculture, aquatic life etc.

Keywords: Energy Harvesting system (EHS), Zig-Bee module, Ultrasonic sensor, Ph sensor, Wireless sensor network (WSN).
