Mr. Amri developed a sensing system based on planar electromagnetic sensor for the application of water quality monitoring in natural water source. He investigated ninety six novel planar electromagnetic sensors based on the combination of meander sensor and interdigital sensor, where a best sensor was identified based on the simulation and experimental results. The best planar electromagnetic sensor has been used to estimate the amount of nitrate contamination in manawatu river with the assistance of a method, based on independent component analysis. He also successfully used a low cost sensing system based on the planar electromagnetic sensor for water quality monitoring. In conclusion, the work is on a problem of strong socio-economic impact and is simple enough to promise inexpensive implementations for practical usage.
