description Water remains one of the most essential natural resources. With the ever-increasing population, the demand for water across various sectors, including agriculture, industry, and power, as well as the growing prevalence of pollution, has led to a significant strain on water supplies. The availability of fresh and usable water is becoming increasingly limited, making quality monitoring and analysis crucial for sustainable use and environmental protection. Traditional water quality monitoring techniques involve manual sampling, testing, and investigation, which may not always be reliable and are often inefficient in providing early warnings of water quality deterioration.
