| Abstract | ||||
| In terms of the importance of utilizing groundwater for irrigational purposes, in Egypt, this research was initiated with the objective of designing a monitoring system to evaluate its suitability for irrigation by the Internet of Things “IoT”, where Al-Moghra aquifer was taken as a case study. Principally, literature in the field of groundwater and IoT were scrutinized. Several site visits were carried out, where samples were undertaken and analyzed. On the other hand, a wide-ranging monitoring system that implements IoT was developed and implemented to forecast real-time data (salinity, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity) from in-situ sensors. A comparison was held between the laboratory-analyzed samples and those of the remote sensors. The comparison indicated that the developed monitoring system is capable of replicating data similar to the extracted samples results. Accordingly, the research highlighted that the developed system is an economic comprehensive monitoring system that could be utilized as an early detection to the contamination potential or overuse, the research suggested utilizing such a system, as it will ensure efficient water management. | ||||
