Abstract

Several water quality monitoring systems were proposed in literature. However, these systems are highly expensive and complex, offer inaccurate pollution positions, and do not perform auto-diagnosis to recover from faults and cope with the characteristics of the monitored environment. In this paper, we propose a novel water quality monitoring platform which combines Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems. In fact, the system uses a set of fixed RFID tags that are deployed next to the waterway and a set of mobile sensor nodes which integrate RFID readers. This platform can offer several enhancements in comparison to the existing water monitoring platforms such as: reduced cost, low energy consumption, scalability, system performance monitoring, and tolerance to errors and loss of information.
