Water quality assessment is a basic idea of environmental management. It has effects on human health, farming and industry. Traditional ways to check parameters, such as pH usually use manual color strips. These strips are highly subjective and often produce mistakes. Digital probes are expensive. Need regular calibration. This paper proposes a scalable mobile‑first Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) framework that automates water pH testing. The framework uses a Flutter app, computer vision with machine learning models from Scikit‑learn or TensorFlow. It maps the Red, Green and Blue (RGB) values of a standard pH strip to continuous pH numbers. The system automatically classifies water as acidic, safe or alkaline. Sends real‑time data to a Firebase‑hosted web dashboard built with HTML and Chart.js. This paper explains the system’s architecture, the specific mathematical algorithms used, optimization functions, data augmentation strategies, security measures, fuzzy logic implementation, a detailed economic feasibility study, real‑world deployment cases and the future direction of AI‑driven environmental telemetry
