The real-time water quality monitoring system used in the Ganga River rejuvenation project demonstrates a robust IoT-enabled solution for continuous river water quality tracking, utilizing multi-parameter sensors to measure pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Ammonia, Turbidity, and Conductivity. Installed along critical points of the river, these automated, solar-powered monitoring stations feature cloud-based data transmission, 4G/telemetry, self-cleaning probes, and integration with RTDAS (Real-Time Data Acquisition Systems), enabling instant alerts and regulatory enforcement by CPCB/SPCB. This setup helps identify industrial polluters in real-time, improves effluent management, enhances public transparency, and supports national-level compliance. Aaxis Nano provides these comprehensive, CPCB-compliant systems — customizable for river, sewage, industrial, and drinking water monitoring — making us the end-to-end solution provider in India’s smart environmental infrastructure.
Why Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring Was Needed in Ganga
- Unregulated Industrial Discharge: Several industries were releasing untreated effluents into the Ganga.
- Lack of Accountability: With no real-time data, violators were hard to trace or penalize.
- Manual Sampling Gaps: Delayed reporting and infrequent sampling missed critical pollution events.
- Public Health Concerns: Contaminated river water posed severe risks to communities.
What Was Installed and How It Works
Advanced Real-Time Monitoring Stations
Each unit along Ganga included:
- Multi-parameter sensors for 24×7 measurement of water quality.
- Solar-powered and IP-rated enclosures for rugged environments.
- 4G/GPRS and cloud-enabled transmission for instant reporting to CPCB/SPCB dashboards.
- Automatic calibration and self-cleaning systems to reduce manual intervention.
Parameters Tracked in Ganga Monitoring Stations
| Parameter | Purpose |
|---|---|
| pH | Acidity/alkalinity check |
| DO | Oxygen available for aquatic life |
| BOD/COD | Organic pollution levels |
| TSS | Suspended solids that affect water clarity |
| Ammonia | Indicator of sewage or industrial effluent |
| Conductivity | Salinity and ion content |
| Turbidity | Visibility and sediment level |
Impact on Ganga Rejuvenation
- Immediate Alerts: Alarms for parameter breaches allowed authorities to act fast.
- Polluter Identification: Integrated GPS and flow data tracked illegal discharges.
- Public Transparency: Data made available to citizens via portals.
- Compliance Monitoring: CPCB/SPCB now enforces standards more effectively.
