It goes without saying, a clean and fresh water system is important for the local ecosystem to survive. They are precious resources for supplying fresh drinking water across the world leading to the growth of ancient civilization towards urban and developed cities. Poor water management practices of the past and current decade by the industries and deliberate ignorance towards natural resources exploitation had polluted the river badly affecting the entire river ecosystem. Innovative incorporation of novel technologies for water bodies monitoring can be an important aspect to protect natural resources. With this aim, we have developed an automated, portable, offline, self-sufficient energy generating, multipurpose rapid water monitoring platform based on spectrophotometric and electrochemical strategies. The main innovation of this portable device is that it is independent to collect the sample, measure, and detect multiple parameters such as chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, temperature, nitrates, nitrites, BIX, FIX, phosphorus, ammonia, uranium, and E. coli load. The portable device is equipped with different measuring probes and photovoltaic cells to generate and store energy into the batteries to run the daily operation of the system under all weather conditions. The obtained data from measurement will be transmitted wirelessly to the server database for storing, evaluation, and interpretation. The entire system of this portable device from energy generation to daily operation and evaluation of results can be controlled and interpreted remotely by web interfaces. This device and entire setup will help the different stakeholders of public monitoring and decision-making agency to get detailed information about water quality monitoring. Moreover, sudden pollution in the ecosystem can be regulated more effectively and efficiently in a more distinct and strict manner.
