Abstract: Acid rain, characterized by high concentrations of H2SO4, HNO3, and H2CO3, is primarily caused by fuel combustion. It directly impacts plants, lakes, rivers, and human health, leading to an increase in respiratory conditions and cancer cases. This research focuses on characterizing precipitation by implementing a remote monitoring system for assessing rainwater quality. The system design utilized an ATMEGA 2560 microcontroller for signal processing and employed the Zigbee protocol to establish a wireless link. The main contribution of this research lies in the development of an electronic system for evaluating precipitation, specifically to measure the acidity or alkalinity of rainwater. The findings indicate that the information obtained from the system is accurate and valuable for determining the quality and potential uses of rainwater.
