description With the increased use of automated systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), and sensors for real-time water quality monitoring, there is a greater requirement for the timely detection of unexpected values. Technical faults can introduce anomalies, and a large incoming data rate might make the manual detection of erroneous data difficult. This research introduces and applies a pioneering technology, Multivariate Multiple Convolutional Networks with Long Short-Term Memory (MCN-LSTM), to real-time water quality monitoring. MCN-LSTM is a cutting-edge deep learning technology designed to address the difficulty of detecting anomalies in complicated time series data, particularly in monitoring water quality in a real-world setting. The growing reliance on automated systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), and sensor networks for continuous water quality monitoring is driving the development and deployment of the MCN-LSTM approach. As these technologies become more widely used, the rapid and precise identification of unexpected or aberrant data points becomes critical. Technical difficulties, inherent noise, and a high data influx pose significant hurdles to manual anomaly detection processes. The MCN-LSTM technique takes advantage of deep learning by integrating Multiple Convolutional Networks and Long Short-Term Memory networks. This combination of approaches offers efficient and effective anomaly detection in multivariate time series data, allowing for identifying and flagging unexpected patterns or values that may signal water quality issues. Water quality data anomalies can have far-reaching repercussions, influencing future analyses and leading to incorrect judgments. Anomaly identification must be precise to avoid inaccurate findings and ensure the integrity of water quality tests. Extensive tests were carried out to validate the MCN-LSTM technique utilizing real-world information obtained from sensors installed in water quality monitoring scenarios. The results of these studies proved MCN-LSTM’s outstanding efficacy, with an impressive accuracy rate of 92.3%. This high level of precision demonstrates the technique’s capacity to discriminate between normal and abnormal data instances in real time. The MCN-LSTM technique is a big step forward in water quality monitoring. It can improve decision-making processes and reduce adverse outcomes caused by undetected abnormalities. This unique technique has significant promise for defending human health and maintaining the environment in an era of increased reliance on automated monitoring systems and IoT technology by contributing to the safety and sustainability of water supplies.
