Design of wireless sensor network based IoT for monitoring pollution in Tigris River in Baghdad city

The city of Baghdad, like other cities, suffers from river pollution as a result of the dumping of industrial and agricultural pollutants and sewage water along the river banks. This paper aims to design a large-scale wireless sensor system in order to collect information on fresh water pollutants for fresh water pumping stations on both sides of Karkh and Rusafa. Through networks of Long Range (LoRa) and WSN connected to sub-microcontrollers that are placed in the main and sub-pumping stations, and send the required statistical data to the main center for the purpose of collecting and analyzing this information and finding out the defects and pollution rates permanently. This system is necessary for decision makers in the Ministry of Water Resources to develop appropriate solutions and remedy health and environmental problems resulting from river water pollution in a timely manner. This paper presents a proposed system contains two parts (Transmitter and Receiver) for intelligent automation using LoRa technology.
