Water quality monitoring (WQM) systems seek to ensure high data precision, data accuracy, timely reporting, easy accessibility of\ndata, and completeness. The conventional monitoring systems are inadequate when used to detect contaminants/pollutants in real\ntime and cannot meet the stringent requirements of high precision forWQMsystems. In this work, we employed the different types\nof wireless sensor nodes to monitor the water quality in real time. Our approach used an energy-efficient data transmission schedule\nand harvested energy using solar panels to prolong the node lifetime. The study took place at the Weija intake in the Greater Accra\nRegion of Ghana. The Weija dam intake serves as a significant water source to the Weija treatment plant which supplies treated\nwater to the people of Greater Accra and parts of Central regions of Ghana. Smart water sensors and smart water ion sensor\ndevices from Libelium were deployed at the intake to measure physical and chemical parameters.....
