AI-INTEGRATED AQUATIC BOT WITH SPECTROPHOTOMETERIC ANALYSIS OF GREY WATER TREATMENT

Summary

The presentation focuses on a low-cost solution for gray water management to mitigate water contaminants before discharge into rivers. The system filters wastewater from bathrooms, toilets, and kitchens using a primary filter made of gravel, sand, and charcoal. It then passes through plants known as V plants, which effectively absorb harmful substances. A floating bot, equipped with a spectrophotometer, Raspberry Pi, and IoT device, monitors water quality before it is released into rivers. The solution is cost-effective, requires minimal maintenance, and promotes sustainability.

Takeaways

• 💧 Gray water management involves the implementation of low-cost technical solutions to mitigate water contaminants.
• 💡 The goal is to implement an innovative, cost-effective, and highly efficient gray water treatment system.

Q & A

What is the main goal of the gray water management solution discussed in the presentation?

The main goal is to implement an innovative, low-cost solution for gray water treatment, making it cost-effective and highly effective in mitigating water contaminants before being discharged into rivers.

What types of water sources are combined in the drainage system?

The wastewater sources include soak water from bathrooms, flushed water from toilets, and wastewater from kitchens, such as from washing and dishwashers.

How is the water treated in the proposed filtration system?

The drain water passes through a primary filter made up of gravel, coarse sand, charcoal, and plain sand before being released to plants known as V plants.

What are V plants, and what role do they play in the water treatment process?

V plants are used to absorb harmful dissolved substances from the water, improving its quality by leaving it mostly free of contaminants.

What are the advantages of using V plants in gray water treatment?

The advantages of using V plants include cost-effectiveness, low maintenance, minimal investment, fast growth rate, and high sustainability.

What is the purpose of the bot in the water treatment process?

The bot is designed to check the quality of the water after it passes through the V plants. It reduces the need for manual labor by automating the water testing process.

What components make up the bot used in the water quality testing?

The bot consists of a battery, a spectrophotometer, a Raspberry Pi, and an IoT device.

What considerations are taken into account when designing the bot?

The bot is designed to be lightweight, simple, cost-effective, and capable of operating automatically or manually through remote control.

What happens to the water after it is tested by the bot?

After the water composition is tested and verified by the bot, it is allowed to flow into the river.

How does the use of a bot in the water testing process contribute to the overall system?

The bot automates water quality testing, reduces manual labor, and ensures consistent monitoring, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of the gray water management system.
