IoT based Smart Water Distribution System

This paper presents an IOT antithesis which help to evaluate and plan the nature of water. With increase in population, urban areas have expanded, water becomes one of the major problems in a city particularly water distribution, interfered with water supply, water protection, water utilization and furthermore the water quality. To overcome water supply related problems proper monitoring and controlling system must be implemented. The developed system consist of IOT devices, water Flow Sensors, water level sensor, and relay switch, Solar Panel, Node MCU, Charge Controller, LCD, Solenoid valve and SMPS. It aims to design and develop a low cost reliable and efficient technique to improve water distribution in the community. A prototype was developed to simulate the operation of a water distribution. Also, a web application was created as a front-end system for monitoring the status of the different pumping stations as well as controlling. Here water flow Sensors are fixed in the inlet of every user, when the system is turned on the amount of water utilized by each user is monitored and controlled by using micro controller by counting the pulses from all channels continuously. Depending upon the availability of water in the reserve tanks, the maximum amount of water which is the threshold value will be set for the individual users. The valve can turn on/off by the Micro controller unit to stop the water supply whenever the flow rate exceeds a predefined threshold. The Node MCU is which managed the system to keep the track of the usage of water by individual users in real time and will be handled by the admin and User to track real time usage.
