Gaoyou Lake IoT Pollution Risk — Water Quality Sensor Measurements [Environmental]
Abstract
"IoT environmental sensor dataset tracking water quality and pollution risk indicators for Gaoyou Lake, China. Includes pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, temperature, and conductivity readings. CSV format via Kaggle. Used for aquatic pollution risk classification and IoT water monitoring research."
Description
Overview
The Gaoyou Lake IoT Pollution Risk Dataset contains real environmental IoT sensor measurements and associated pollution risk indicators collected from Gaoyou Lake, a significant freshwater lake in Jiangsu Province, China. It captures a range of physicochemical water quality parameters measured by deployed IoT sensors, providing ground-truth data for developing ML models that classify pollution risk levels in real time.
Water quality monitoring using IoT sensor networks is a growing application domain driven by the need for continuous, low-cost environmental surveillance. IoT-based approaches using electrochemical sensors for pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and conductivity enable the dense spatial and temporal sampling required for effective pollution risk assessment.
Structured to support binary or multi-class classification of pollution risk levels, with each sensor reading annotated with a risk category. Available on Kaggle and suited for comparative ML benchmarking on real environmental IoT data.
