Water is the most important vital source of the human being, so knowing its quality is essential. A large sector of the population residing in urban areas can be certain that drinking water has the necessary conditions for its consumption without even knowing the exact quality, since it comes from a company that provides certified services. However, it is not the same reality for the other sector of the population, which resides in rural areas and where no entity, whether private or government, provides drinking water and sewerage services, besides to the geographical exploitation and natural events that can pollute water sources. Difficult access and the lack of network coverage are circumstances that worsen the situation of the residents and it may take a long period of time to wait until an expert can give his verdict and make known whether the water is drinkable or not. Therefore, this thesis proposes the design and implementation of a real-time remote acquisition system that measures high concentrations of lead for highly polluted water sources. This thesis does not propose to determine concentrations at parts per billion levels due to hardware limitations and only focuses on finding concentrations from 1 ppm to 44 ppm, the determination of water consumption is only valid if the lead concentration found is in parts per million. The system can be manipulated by anyone without prior knowledge of the matter and the information can be shared on the internet even if there is no network coverage in the area where the measurement is carried out. This system is based on the design of the potentiostat board based on a free hardware called CheapStat using the ATXmega32A4-U microcontroller, the periphery for the control circuit and data transmission. A local interface is implemented to activate the equipment, perform the equipment restart and a visual screen to show the water quality data that is being read. The anodic redissolution voltammetry method is used and two different techniques are used, constant voltage and linear sweep voltammetry, due to hardware limitations on the potentiostat board. A voltaperometric cell is designed and implemented with working electrodes with gold microfiber material, silver chloride silver reference electrode and platinum auxiliary electrode, adapted to work at low and high concentrations, the limits and parameters of the cell are determined from experimentally and under a controlled laboratory environment. The data transmission is visualized on a local platform called Node-Red and it is used as the IBM Bluemix database, so that both tools are linked to be able to see the information in real time on the web.
