Water Quality Monitoring in Water Treatment

Water is the lifeblood of ecosystems, human civilizations, and industrial progress. However, in recent decades, water quality has faced unprecedented threats from environmental pollution, industrial discharge, agricultural runoff, and even malicious emissions. These factors have led to a steady deterioration in water conditions, posing severe risks to human health—through contaminated drinking water or seafood—aquatic life, and the stability of entire ecological systems.  

 

Timely and accurate water quality monitoring is not just a preventive measure; it is a critical pillar of effective water treatment. As an integral link in the water treatment process, monitoring acts as the "early warning system" that identifies issues before they escalate, enabling targeted interventions that protect both public health and the environment.  

 

At RIKA SENSOR, we understand that robust water quality monitoring is foundational to sustainable water management. Our solutions are designed to address the complexities of modern water challenges, providing reliable data to guide decision-making in treatment, conservation, and regulatory compliance.  

Water Quality Parameters Monitored

Water quality is a multifaceted concept, determined by a range of interconnected parameters. Monitoring these parameters provides a holistic view of water health, enabling stakeholders to assess suitability for specific uses—whether drinking, agriculture, industrial processes, or supporting aquatic ecosystems. Key parameters include: 

1
pH Level
Measures the acidity or alkalinity of water on a scale of 0–14. A neutral pH (around 7) is critical for most aquatic organisms, as extreme values (below 6.5 or above 8.5) can disrupt biological processes, corrode infrastructure, or render water unfit for consumption.
2
Dissolved Oxygen (DO)
The amount of oxygen dissolved in water, essential for the survival of fish, plants, and microorganisms. Low DO levels (typically below 5 mg/L in freshwater) can lead to fish kills and the release of harmful gases from sediment, indicating pollution or eutrophication.
3
Turbidity
Quantifies the cloudiness of water caused by suspended particles (e.g., silt, algae, or organic matter). High turbidity reduces light penetration, hindering aquatic plant growth, and can shelter pathogens, making water treatment more challenging.
4
Salinity
Measures the concentration of dissolved salts in water. It is vital for aquatic species adapted to specific salinity levels—freshwater organisms cannot survive in high-salinity environments (e.g., seawater), and vice versa.
5
Water Temperature

Influences DO levels (colder water holds more oxygen) and biological activity. Sudden temperature fluctuations can stress aquatic life, while prolonged warming (e.g., from industrial discharge) can alter ecosystem dynamics.

6
Conductivity
Indicates the ability of water to conduct electricity, a proxy for the concentration of dissolved solids (minerals, salts, or pollutants). Abnormal conductivity levels may signal contamination from industrial waste or agricultural runoff.

Methods for Monitoring Water Quality  

Effective water quality monitoring relies on five core methods, each tailored to specific needs:  

Chemical Analysis
Assesses water quality by quantifying/qualifying chemicals via reactions with reagents, producing measurable results. Tests parameters like pH, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, and uses techniques such as colorimetry or HPLC.
◉ Advantages: Highly accurate data for diverse parameters.
◉ Disadvantages: Needs specialized lab equipment/technicians; higher cost and longer turnaround.
Physical Property Testing
Measures basic physical traits (temperature, conductivity, turbidity, color) that reflect water quality (e.g., turbidity indicates suspended particles).
◉ Advantages: Quick on-site testing with portable tools; simple to operate.
◉ Disadvantages: Limited ability to detect complex contaminants.
Microbiological Assays
Evaluates biological contamination by culturing/counting microorganisms or detecting pathogens (e.g., coliforms, E. coli) to assess water hygiene.
◉ Advantages: Identifies harmful microorganisms.
◉ Disadvantages: Cumbersome process; requires time, expertise, and higher cost.
Bioanalytical Methods
Uses organisms' sensitivity to environmental changes (e.g., phytoplankton, fish) by observing their survival, growth, or behavior to monitor water quality.
◉ Advantages: Provides ecological insights on water quality impacts.
◉ Disadvantages: Long experimental periods; accuracy affected by species choice and conditions.
Water Quality Sensor Approach
Uses sensors to monitor parameters (temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity) in real time, converting signals to data for automation or logging. Ideal for online/long-term monitoring.
◉ Advantages: Easy to use; suits large-scale/long-term monitoring; cost-effective.
◉ Disadvantages: Prone to environmental interference or aging; needs regular calibration/maintenance.

Data Collecting and Analysis-Rikacloud

All sensors in the water quality monitoring system are interconnected and continuously collect data on various parameters, including pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and pollutant levels. The data are transmitted in real time to the Rikacloud platform, where they are processed and analyzed using advanced algorithms. The platform compiles the information into intuitive charts and graphs, creating user-friendly visualizations that offer comprehensive insight into water quality conditions. Operators can remotely access this information in real time, enabling continuous monitoring and prompt decision-making. The system is also capable of promptly identifying abnormal water quality events, assisting personnel in taking proactive management actions to ensure the stability and safety of the water environment.
