Pakistan Aqua surveillance and control using IOT and LoRa Protocol

Abstract

Pakistan is facing a severe shortage of water, and the situation is expected to worsen in the future because of the mismanagement of water resources, lack of proper infrastructure to store and distribute water, climate changes etc. To address these issues, the government of Pakistan needs to implement effective water management policies, improve water infrastructure, and promote water conservation measures. Additionally, the country needs to address the root causes of water pollution, such as industrial and agricultural practices, and ensure that water is managed in a sustainable manner. Thus this country becomes the most water intensive economy in the world. To address these issues one solution has been analyzed and developed with use of LoRa modulation techniques and IOT enabled sensors and gateways to send and receive data of Aqua usage at extremely low power over long distances with aim to monitor water Usage and generating accurate financial Bill. During development process V-Model or Verification and Validation Model is utilized with parallel for both device testing and software development. Through this research work we reviewed many research papers and found that none of them have used LPWAN technology for proper water usage and we conclude that LPWAN is more reliable to be use due to low power, low cost and wide area coverage range for Pakistan Aqua Industry for Proper water usage and generating the accurate billing which benefit to Pakistan economy using end to end IOT sensors and LoRa protocol. During research two-week data has been analyzed and found that, this project can be implemented for Pakistan Aqua Industry initially for housing and can be extend for industrial level for more effective Surveillance and Control.
