Design and implementation of a Li River water quality monitoring and analysis system based on outlier data analysis.

The detection of water quality indicators such as Temperature, pH, Turbidity, Conductivity, and TDS involves five national standard methods. Chemically based measurement techniques may generate liquid residue, causing secondary pollution. The water quality monitoring and data analysis system can effectively address the issues that conventional methods require multiple pieces of equipment and repeated measurements. This paper analyzes the distribution characteristics of the historical data from five sensors at a specific time, displays them graphically in real time, and provides an early warning of exceeding the standard; It selects four water samples from different sections of the Li River, based on the national standard method, the average measurement errors of Temperature, PH, TDS, Conductivity and Turbidity are 0.98%, 2.23%, 2.92%, 3.05% and 3.98%.;It further uses the quartile method to analyze the outlier data over 100,000 records and five historical periods are selected. Experiment results show the system is relatively stable in measuring Temperature, PH and TDS, and the proportion of outlier is 0.42%, 0.84% and 1.24%. When Turbidity and Conductivity are measured, the proportion is 3.11% and 2.92%. In the experiment of using 7 methods to fill outlier, K nearest neighbor algorithm is better than others. The analysis of data trends, outliers, means, and extreme values assists in making decisions, such as updating and maintaining equipment, addressing extreme water quality situations, and enhancing regional water quality oversight.
