Implementing Water Management, Monitoring and Control System Through IoT

Abstract

Water supply in many cities of India is irregular with limited water and resources, limited instrumentation, improper operation of the system and poor network maintenance. To monitor and control these features, sensors should be placed in appropriate locations, and manual valves should be automated and communication between the devices must be enabled. This method explains Internet of Things (IoT) using sensors with low power. Monitoring of real-time water supply with gateway nodes is done. This method can measure water level in the tank and water flow rate. The server data are put into the cloud and we can monitor its operations using client server system.
