A design of radio-controlled submarine modification for river water quality monitoring

摘要

In Indonesia, river water plays important roles in human life; for example, for transportation and economic activities of the inhabitants. However, industrial, agricultural and domestic water is discarded into rivers directly in many developing countries, since drainage systems have not been completely constructed. Water quality monitoring using radio-controlled submarine provide an opportunity to develop baseline monitoring system for river water ecosystem health indicator. We propose a design modification of radio-controlled submarine for river water quality monitoring. Our design consists of modification for navigation system by added external motor, IMU and GPS; modification of processing and control system by added micro controllers and mini pc, and modification of water sensors system.
