    This research developed a portable water salinity measurement device using internet of things technology to support farmers in Bang Kachao area in Samut Prakan province, Thailand, to select quality water for cultivation and consumption. The system hardware consists of a microcontroller ESP32 with a GPS module and an electrical conductivity sensor with an analog-to-digital conversion module for saline water measurement. This device can connect to an internet system via a Wi-Fi network and MQTT protocol to transmit the data of saline water value and measuring location to the cloud system. In the cloud system, the node-red system software is installed as a data gateway for device interfacing. In addition, a node-red dashboard is used to collect data from a portable device and previously installed water quality monitoring station for visualizing a portable device location and saline water data. This dashboard is a web page that allows people to monitor the water situation in the area that is suitable to use.

    Effect of Climate Change on Groundwater Age of Thailand's Lower Chao Phraya Basin
    Water is indispensable for life, including, groundwater that the largest fresh water source. Groundwater sustainability is threatened by many factors, one is climate change which lead to flood and drought. Groundwater age is an indicator that can be applied for vulnerability assessment and sustainable groundwater management. This research focus on the changing of groundwater age under the effect of climate change using the steady-state three-dimensional mathematical simulation including, MODFLOW-2000 and MODPATH. In addition, the climate scenario including, IPSL-CM5A-MR that consist the increasing of carbon dioxide (Representative Concentration Pathways; RCP) between 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5 in the period 2017-2036. The results revealed groundwater age was highly distributed between 140 to 177,505 years with the average 18,665 years due to the distribution of groundwater recharge and pumping in the basin. In addition, the average groundwater age with RCP 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5 were decreased to 17,217, 15,960, 16,286 years from base case (18,665 years), respectively. Because the quantity of rainfall which contribute the hydraulic head, hydraulic gradient and velocity was changed. In conclusion, the groundwater sustainability in the Lower Chao Phraya basin was consistent during this period because the groundwater age was decreased by rainfall. However, the old groundwater, non-renewable groundwater could be conservative due to the distribution of groundwater age was increased.

    Impact of climate change on the groundwater sustainability in the lower Chao Phraya basin, Thailand
    (2018-08-14) ; ;

    This research investigates the impact of climate change on the hydraulic heads of Thailand's Lower Chao Phraya basin. The research also determines the sustainability of groundwater as the result from climate change. In the study, the climatic scenario (IPSL-CM5A-MR) of the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) between 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5 were considered, and the simulations were carried out using the three-dimensional groundwater flow model (i.e. MODFLOW-2000) predicting the groundwater behavior between 2017 and 2036. The findings revealed that the impact of climate change on the hydraulic head fluctuation was positively correlated. Specifically, under the IPSL-CM5A-MR RCP 4.5 that has the highest average precipitation, the average hydraulic head increased. In conclusion, the sustainability of groundwater in the Lower Chao Phraya basin was sufficient during the simulated time. However, the groundwater budget was lower than the average groundwater budget during 2009 - 2014 indicating, the groundwater storage was continuously decreased. Specifically, the 2nd, and 3rd (Phra Pradeang and Nakorn Luang) aquifers may be facing the groundwater shortage in the future.
