Across the globe millions of people lack access to clean drinking water. This has led to widespread distrust of water resources, including tap water. One way to ensure the quality of drinking water and re-establish public trust is by implementing smart water monitoring technologies that can be utilized by operators and consumers. The work presented in this paper encompasses the design and testing of a wireless sensor network for point of use water quality monitoring. The final prototype allows for remote data monitoring and lays the foundations for further work to use the data acquired by the system for uses such as contamination detection and predictive modeling of water quality.
