Sensing Technologies for Real Time Monitoring of Water and Food Quality

A comprehensive guide to the development and application of smart sensing technologies for water and food quality monitoring

With contributions from a panel of experts on the topic, Sensing Technologies for Real Time Monitoring of Water Quality offers an authoritative resource that explores a complete set of sensing technologies designed to monitor, in real time, water and food (aquaculture) quality. The contributing authors explore the fundamentals of sensing technologies and review the most recent advances of various materials and sensors for water quality monitoring.

This comprehensive resource includes information on a range of designs of smart electronics, communication systems, packaging, and innovative implementation approaches used for remote monitoring of water quality in various atmospheres. The book explores a variety of techniques for data analysis of the sensors as well as contains artificial intelligence, big data technologies, and machine learning approaches used for monitoring and evaluation. In addition, this indispensible resource highlights sustainable environmental and policy issues, including ways for food and water managers to can help to reduce their carbon footprint. This important book:

• Puts the spotlight on the potential capabilities and the limitations of various sensing technologies and wireless systems
• Offers an evaluation of a variety of sensing materials, substrates, and designs of sensors
• Includes information on the common characteristics, ideas, and approaches of water quality and quantity management
• Presents techniques for manager for reducing their carbon footprint

Written for students and practitioners/researchers in food and water quality management, Sensing Technologies for Real Time Monitoring of Water Quality offers, in one volume, a guide to the real time sensing techniques that can improve water and food quality.
