An IoT-Enhanced Portable Rainwater and Moisture Harvesting System with Air Quality Monitoring for Arid Regions

Abstract

This work discloses a system that merges water harvesting and air purification functionalities into a cohesive module with a mobile application interfacing for users. Comprising a master device module for water collection and a sub-module for air filtration, the system operates at the intersection of technology and environmental enhancement. IoT technology drives real-time monitoring and control, with solar panels providing green energy for autonomy and reduced environmental impact. The master device module excels in rainwater collection through its adaptability and exhaust fan mechanism, while the air filtration mesh ensures water quality. The sub-module employs intelligent air quality analysis and a charcoal mesh for advanced purification. Both modules synergistic-ally operate through IoT technology, scalable design, and energy exchange, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem for water conservation and enhanced air quality also aligns with Sustainable Development Goals of Clean Water and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, Sustainable Cities and Communities, and Climate Action.
