River Water Quality Dashboard Kit with Arduino Nano + Sensor
River Water Quality Dashboard Kit — Deploy Your Own GPS-Tagged Monitoring Station with Arduino Nano
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Walk down to any riverbank, dip a compact unit into the water, and capture four critical parameters — pH, total dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity — while a GPS module stamps exact coordinates alongside an RTC-synchronized time. Back at your desk, run a single Python script to transform that logged CSV into an interactive Folium map where every reading pops open with charts and location pins. This kit hands you the complete toolchain to go from raw water quality data to a professional, shareable dashboard, just like field researchers and hackathon finalists rely on.
What You'll Build
A portable, battery-powered monitoring unit that records pH, electrical conductivity (TDS), dissolved oxygen, and turbidity readings, all geotagged and timestamped. After a field session, the included Python workflow parses your SD card data and renders an interactive Folium map overlay — click any marker to see real-time values and trends. The waterproof enclosure shields the electronics, letting you focus on mapping pollution hotspots, comparing river stretches, or presenting findings at your next project review.
What You'll Learn
- Calibrate four analog water quality sensors and interface them simultaneously with an Arduino Nano for stable, repeatable readings.
- Integrate a NEO-6M GPS module and DS3231 RTC to log each sample with precise latitude, longitude, and UTC timestamp to a MicroSD card.
- Use Python (pandas, Folium) to read the logged CSV and produce an interactive map complete with color-coded markers and sensor value popups.
- Manage field power with a LiPo battery and TP4056 charging module, and assemble the entire system inside a robust waterproof enclosure.

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for B.Tech ECE/EEE, Environmental Engineering, and M.Sc. Environmental Science students building capstone or final-year projects on river health monitoring. Strong fit for Smart India Hackathon teams, NIT/IIT/VIT/BITS project groups, and CBSE Class 12 students with prior Arduino experience who want to move beyond blinking LEDs into geospatial data analytics. If your goal is a deployable system that generates publishable maps, not just a breadboard demo, this kit delivers.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Your kit includes an AI-powered companion that walks you through every wiring step, calibration, and Python setup. If you need a human hand, WhatsApp support from our Bengaluru team is included — just scan the QR code on the box.
Can I deploy this kit in a river for long-term monitoring?
The waterproof enclosure is splash-resistant and suitable for short field sessions (3–4 hours on the included LiPo battery). For continuous, submerged logging you would need a more rugged housing and a larger power source; this kit is designed as a portable surveying tool, not a permanent station.
Do I need to know Python to generate the interactive map?
Basic familiarity helps, but the AI companion provides the complete Folium script and guides you through installing dependencies. You'll learn how the code works while generating your first map.
How accurate are the sensors compared to professional water quality testing kits?
The sensors are educational-grade and calibrated per the included instructions to approximate pH ±0.1, TDS ±10%, and DO ±0.2 mg/L under stable conditions. They are ideal for comparative studies, project demonstrations, and hackathon prototypes; for regulatory-grade analysis, professional probes are recommended.
pH, EC, DO and turbidity sensors log GPS-tagged readings. Python renders interactive Folium map overlay.
