An IoT Based pH Level Monitoring Mobile Application on Fishponds using pH Sensor and Waterproof Temperature Sensor

Abstract

Climate change vastly affect the demand of human consumption such as natural resources due to the destruction of the natural ecosystem. Due to the increasing population in many countries, people discovered innovative ways to produce supplies specifically food that can suffice the demandfor food consumption without compromising natural resources. Most people rely on terrestrial land including farms for plant based foods, there are artificial made food harvested in a controlled environment and creating artificial environment for animal culture both in land and body of water that serves as mass production of raw product such aschicken, beef, pork and fish meat. Since climate change is oneof the major factors that can affect the production of food, developers and experts provided assistance in innovative ways such as designing application and devices that can provide efficient process in mass producing raw products in the market. The emergence of Internet of Things in the different industries has vastly improved in present time. Internet of Things changed the way people execute their tasks from customer service, manufacturing large amount of materials, and even creating a smarter and energy efficient home for families that can be controlled through smartphone devices remotely. Internet of things were integrated in animal culture in several countries and it provides efficient and reliable assistance for animal farmers such as fishpond and poultry owners. This proposed research contributes on providing alternative and innovate way of aquaculture on artificial body of water specifically on fishponds. The proposed study can recommend specific aquatic species that can be culture in a specific season in the Philippines throughanalysis of the temperature and pH level of the artificial bodyof water.
