Water quality monitoring (pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen)

Purpose

1. Automate continuous water quality monitoring (e.g., pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen) across fish farming tanks or ponds to reduce manual labor, enhance accuracy, ensure optimal fish health, and enable real-time, automated anomaly responses.

2. Automating data collection, logging, alerting, and reporting on water parameters—streamlining compliance, health, and productivity.

3. Enable automated triggers for corrective actions, e.g., automated chemical dosing, alerts to farmhands, and escalation to management.

Trigger Conditions

1. Sensor readings (pH, temp, dissolved oxygen) exceed pre-set or dynamic thresholds.

2. Scheduled timed intervals for routine monitoring automation.

3. Sensor connectivity loss or data upload failure triggers automated maintenance requests.

4. Sudden rapid changes in any single parameter, automating alerts for investigation.
