The rural drinking water safety has been paid much attention by more and more people. Rural drinking water quality standard exceeding and pollution will be a direct threat to peasants' health. Therefore, the monitoring of rural drinking water safety is an efficient way to reduce the risk of water quality standard exceeding and pollution. The sensor node and GPRS gateway were designed which suitable for rural drinking water quality information acquisition to solve the existing problems as bad real time capability and low efficiency. The sensor node uses a STM32F103VET6 as the processing core, a WLK01L39 RF chip and its peripheral circuits was used as the wireless communication module, and the ASI water quality sensors were used as the sensing module. As same as the sensor node, the GPRS gateway also uses STM32F103VET6 and WLK01L39 as the processing core and RF chip respectively, and uses WG-8010 as the GPRS communication module. The sensor node was designed to collect water quality information such as temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen, etc. The data which collected by sensor nodes transferred through wireless network to the other nodes, and remote uploaded by the GPRS gateway. The mean current consumption of sensor nodes raged from 23.45mA to 32.82mA under operating mode and 0.026mA under sleeping mode, and the mean current consumption for the GPRS gateway raged 30.12mA to 57.43mA and 0.026mA under sleeping mode. The results showed that the low power design of nodes can meet the long-term working requirements. The remote acquisition error range of pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature were 0.63%~1.67%, 1.10%~2.20% and 2.23%~2.27%, respectively. The results of the 43-day networking experiment indicated that the average PLR of network was 2.08%, which can meet the requirements for stable transmission of network data. In conclusion, the design of sensor node and GPRS gateway was suitable for effective monitoring of water quality of rural drinking water source.
