Abstract

Water is one of the fundamental necessities of human life, essential for a wide range of daily activities. People rely on water for drinking, cleaning, cooking, irrigation, and industrial processes. To meet these needs, water is often pumped from ground storage to overhead tanks. However, the use of non-automated switches to operate pumping machines can lead to significant issues, such as water overflow and unnecessary electricity consumption. The proposed system aims to tackle these challenges by providing users with real-time updates on water levels in storage tanks. This system integrates a microcontroller and leverages mobile networks to notify users about water levels via mobile notifications. Additionally, the quality of water is monitored by measuring parameters such as chlorine concentration and salinity. If the water quality deviates from acceptable levels, the user receives an SMS alert. Leakage detection is another crucial feature of the system. Pressure sensors continuously monitor the water flow. If abnormal low pressure is detected, the system identifies a potential leakage and notifies the user via a mobile call, ensuring prompt action. This comprehensive approach not only prevents water wastage but also optimizes electricity consumption. Water leakage, a common issue in homes, public spaces, and residential colonies, significantly contributes to water wastage. A small but steady leak can result in the loss of approximately 226,800 liters of water annually. Awareness and consciousness regarding water wastage are vital to ensuring the availability of adequate water supplies to meet daily needs. In this project, embedded systems are utilized to minimize water overflow and leakage by controlling the valves automatically. As urbanization progresses, water, an essential resource, remains underprioritized and often wasted. Historical civilizations thrived or collapsed based on their water management practices, a lesson modern societies must heed. With this knowledge, it is imperative to adopt innovative solutions and responsibly manage this critical resource.
