Water quality monitoring report automation

Purpose

1.1. Automate water quality monitoring report collection, data analysis, anomaly detection, and distribution for bird watching reserves.
1.2. Automatically gather real-time sensor data to enhance safe habitat conditions for birds and optimize site monitoring effort.
1.3. Automates routine sampling and generates compliance-ready, shareable, and auditable reports for management and conservation authorities.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Scheduled interval trigger—hourly, daily, or weekly sensor reads.
2.2. Webhook trigger—native device alert or anomaly such as pH, turbidity, temperature out-of-range.
2.3. Manual trigger—staff request via dashboard or mobile app.
2.4. Automated threshold detection—sensor value breach automates alerting and custom report generation.
