Abstract: Now a days technology is advancing especially wireless sensor network have numerous application in remote sensing and controlling. So by this technology various environmental parameters can be monitored. Idea comes into the mind to monitor the quality of water because water is one of the important factors for living organism. There are various wireless models such as WiFi, Bluetooth, Wi-Max. Here Zigbee is used as wireless sensor network for monitoring the quality of water because, of its low cost, low power consumption and easy to operate. Rapid development in industry and human activities affects the quality of water. Maintaining the good quality of water is a critical problem. But, by using this new wireless technology the task of monitoring become simple. In this system various sensors are used for monitoring the parameters for water samples as quality of water depends upon number of parameters such as pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen and many more. The main parameters for this system are pH and turbidity, for that pH sensor and turbidity sensor are used. This whole system is powered by solar energy.
