Automation of Water Reservoir using IoT

Water reservoirs are nothing but the dams. These dams provide us with a wide range of social, economic, environmental benefits by helping us in controlling the flow of water, navigational purpose, flood control, industries, irrigation and act as habitat for aquatic life. India has progressed a lot in the construction of dams and water reservoirs after independence and many more are already under the process of construction. But even today most of these dams use the conventional methods of dam management for controlling the dam gates and dam maintenance. The growth of Internet of Things (IOT) paved the significant attention in all fields. The objective we propose in this paper is the application system with integration of IOT to ensure the safety to the public about the prior alerting of flood occurrence due to increase in the water level in dams or reservoirs. To achieve the objective cloud database technique is maintained which holds the periodic monitoring water level data. The sensor data is collected periodically that are uploaded to the cloud database where the automatic comparison analytics about the increase in water level is noted. Thus, the prior stages of rise in water level are automatically alerted to the public respectively. Finally, it was observed that the level of accuracy is grown by this technique in comparison with ordinary method of monitoring and alerting system.
