Abstract

At the point of monitoring coverage, the legacy technologies of water quality measurement show the weakness. It manually or semi-automatically measures various water quality information at just only small parts of a large area. In this paper, we propose new water quality sensor apparatus which can consistently provide high resolution water quality data as well as attachable and PnP type deployable to underwater robots and buoys. The water quality sensor module, as a result of going through three water system tests in Han River, Gold River and Gapchun respectively and benchmarking with the commercial water quality meter, shows not only outstanding performance but also receives an official experimental certification by the supervisor of the Korea Testing Laboratory.
