A Decentralized Application for Water Body Preservation Using Modular Smart Contracts

Abstract

In the advancement of Industry 4.0, integrating intelligent systems, automation, and real-time data exchange has significantly transformed global industries. Among these developments, blockchain technology has emerged as a pivotal innovation, offering unparalleled data integrity, transparency, and decentralized control capabilities. This paper introduces a novel Ethereum-based decentralized application (DApp) architecture, comprising modular smart contracts to enhance industrial and societal systems, particularly within environmental sustainability in water body management. Each contract addresses a distinct operational layer, from secure storage and role-based access control to verified participation, drive coordination, and automated Ether-based reward distribution. The system was developed and tested in Remix IDE to validate functionality and integrity. This DApp framework secures workflows and extends blockchain utility to civic engagement through verified volunteer activities and incentive-based water conservation initiatives. Unlike prior work, this model integrates decentralized, scalable, and auditable mechanisms that have not previously been consolidated within a unified environmental DApp.
