Traditionally, data collected from water quality
monitoring systems are typically stored in closed repositories that
are not shared with the public. Due to the cost and environmental
limitations traditional water quality monitoring systems cannot
collect sufficient samples to reflect the overall status of water
quality. In this paper, the monitored data were transmitted in
real time by WCDMA to the central server via a 3G network. In
such a ubiquitous environment every user can interact with other
mobile users or devices. Next, grey relational analysis is used to
find the most influential water factors that help us easily realize
the overall status of water resources. Experimental results verify
the applicability of the proposed ubiquitous system.
