Can Tho City, Vietnam – In a significant step towards addressing water security challenges, authorities in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta have deployed advanced multi-parameter water quality monitoring systems. These real-time stations are providing crucial data to protect aquaculture, a cornerstone of the region’s economy, and monitor the health of its vital waterways.
Safeguarding the Aquaculture Lifeline
The primary application is in the intensive aquaculture zones of provinces like Soc Trang and Bac Lieu. Here, multi-parameter sensors are installed directly in fish and shrimp ponds, continuously measuring key water quality indicators such as pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), salinity, temperature, and turbidity.
“Before, farmers had to manually test the water, which was time-consuming and often resulted in delayed responses to dangerous changes,” said Mr. An, a local aquaculture cooperative leader. “Now, if dissolved oxygen drops to a critical level at night, the system sends an immediate alert to our phones, allowing us to activate aerators before it’s too late. This has significantly reduced stock losses.”
Monitoring the Vital Mekong River
Beyond aquaculture, these smart monitoring stations have been strategically placed along the canals and main branches of the Mekong River. They track pollution levels, salinity intrusion, and changes in water quality, providing authorities with unprecedented visibility into environmental conditions. This data is essential for early warning of contamination from industrial or agricultural runoff, a growing concern in the rapidly developing region.
Robust Technology for Challenging Environments
The success of these projects hinges on the durability and connectivity of the monitoring equipment. The deployed systems feature multi-parameter sensors designed for long-term, continuous immersion. To meet diverse monitoring needs, we provide a variety of tailored solutions, including:
- Handheld meter for multi-parameter water quality for portable, spot-checking by field technicians.
- Floating Buoy system for multi-parameter water quality for large-scale, continuous monitoring in lakes, reservoirs, and coastal areas.
- Automatic cleaning brush for multi-parameter water sensor to ensure data accuracy and reduce maintenance in biofouling-prone environments.
- Complete set of servers and software wireless module, supports RS485 GPRS /4G/WIFI/LORA/LORAWAN for flexible and reliable data transmission across various terrains.
This flexibility is critical in the mixed-geography Delta. 4G connectivity ensures reliable data transmission in areas with cellular coverage, while LORAWAN technology provides a long-range, low-power solution for remote pond clusters and river sections.

Future Outlook
The Vietnamese government’s commitment to smart agriculture and environmental protection signals a strong growth trajectory for IoT-based water quality monitoring. As the success in the Mekong Delta becomes a model, similar projects are expected to be replicated in other critical river basins and coastal areas across Vietnam, solidifying the role of multi-parameter sensors as an indispensable tool for sustainable water resource management.
