Sensor-based water monitoring network with environmental telemetry visualisation.

Research summary

Project overview

This project examines how remote sensing nodes can support more reliable environmental monitoring in contexts where connectivity is inconsistent and maintenance windows are limited.

Approach

The solution models a lightweight sensor network with intermittent uplink behaviour, prioritised alert routing, and data buffering so that water quality anomalies can still be surfaced under unstable field conditions.

Impact

The work demonstrates a practical monitoring architecture for environmental infrastructure where resilience, low power use, and actionable alerts matter more than always-on connectivity.
