AN ASSESSMENT - WATER QUALITY MONITORING PRACTICES AND SEWER ROBOTIC SYSTEMS

Abstract

Water pollution has become a global issue and creating a severe problems due to contamination of various water sources such as agricultural waste, industrial waste, and sewage waste etc. So, the available sensory systems, nodes, and techniques plays a crucial role in identification of harmful pollutants in distinct water resources. The water pollutants monitoring techniques with prospered tools and sensors have been unfolded to find gap for future research maneuver. The need of real-time newer sensory system has been put forwarded for identification of mostly occurring harmful pollutants such as BOD, COD, TSS, and Hydrogen sulfide in examination of water quality.

In this modern advancement, robotic systems have taken an intrinsic stand in diverse fields of humankind. An underground infrastructure is a base of modern society. In this paper, the existing methodologies and developed sewer robotic systems have been discussed and concluded on their applications, limitations and impact on realistic scenarios. Also, the cardinal point is revealed that previous art work focused only on sewer defect identification but not standardized work on sewer blockages detection and removal. So, the sewer robotic system with features of cost effectiveness and standardized accuracy matrix should be developed to resolve sewer blockage issues and followed by human scavenging. The survey outcomes extend a province of sewer robotics to resolve blockages issues of buried sewers of distinct diameters in real-time with substantial methodology.
