Hello everyone! I'm quite new in doing Arduino projects so I'm not yet familiar with complex terms. So, my bachelor's thesis is to create a system using Arduino sensors that will continually monitor the quality of the water and then analyze the data gathered to conclude which disease can be acquired in the water using Decision Tree and then automatically filter the water if a contamination is detected. Now I'm here to ask if this is feasible, and if it is, what are the sensors required to create this projects? Thanks in advance!
Sounds feasible, as long as you have the correct sensors connected.
Sensors required: those that can measure the specific contaminants you are interested in.

I want to focus more on bacterial pathogens. What are your recommended sensors for this?? I'm thinking pH, turbidity and temperature is enough but I'm not sure though.
Ps. Is this even the correct section to ask this question? Forgive me if not. I'm new to this
pH and temperature: easy. Lots of sensors available. Stick a probe in the water and measure away.
Turbidity: a trickier one. Has sensors; high requirements on water movement or lack thereof for it to work.
Bacteria: none that I am aware of.
As far as I know (but you for sure know more about it) the presence of bacteria does not affect the pH, temperature or turbidity of water. Even so, if you measure turbidity you can only tell the turbidity, not the nature of the particles that cause it.

Oh I see. Thanks a lot! Will search for more information.
