This study aimed to develop a data-driven water monitoring system with descriptive analytics for aquaculture prawn farms. This system was designed to automate the monitoring of the water quality of the prawn farm so as to minimize labor and time spent for manually testing the water. Utilizing a rapid prototyping methodology, which is a rapid or quick creation of a prototype or a physical model of a device used in the development of a project, the said monitoring system was evaluated through a comparative analysis between the data gathered manually and the data collected by the monitoring system. To ensure reliability and validity of this monitoring system, it was used various times over several consecutive days. Also, a t-test was used to determine the significant differences between manual and system readings. Findings of the study showed that the designed water monitoring system provided accurate results, and the objectives of the study were met, particularly in terms of integrating a Raspberry Pi 3 microprocessor to automate the system in monitoring the water quality. It was also found out that the use of different sensors to test the water condition in terms of its temperature, pH level, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity was accurate. Furthermore, the system also met its objective of developing an Android mobile application to monitor the status remotely. With this, it is recommended for prawn farmers to utilize the system (with internet connectivity) for their efficient water quality management and to improve their remote monitoring capabilities.
