Water Management System for Smart City
Objectives:
1. To reduce man power utilization in water distribution system by using smart switching of
valves.
2. To avoid theft of water by using cost effective, real time monitoring and controllable system.
3. To reduce overheads on utilities in handling meter reading and billing for water distribution
smartmetering.
4. To measure the quality of water distributed to every household by deploying pH and
conductivity sensors.
5. To know the correct time of water initiation and termination of water supply SMS alerts are
delivered.
Abstract:
Water is a vital resource, while not that life doesn’t exist on earth. Conservation of water
is important for human survival. During the past decade, water needs have increased
unpredictably in India. Increasing demand of water supply has become a major challenge for the
world. Wasteful usage of water, climatic changes and Urbanization has further depleted the
resource. Earth surface is covered with 70% of water and out of that only 2.5% of water is
freshwater. Again, out of that 2.5%, only 0.3% of it is available on earth. Hence, it is very
necessary to utilize water intelligently.
However, due to water leakage and theft a lot of water gets wasted. Conservation and
management of the resource must be given utmost importance. In this project, we present an IoT
design for water monitoring and control approach which supports internet based data collection
on real time bases. The system addresses and introduces prepaid billing, new challenges in the
water sector -flow rate measuring and the need for a study of the supply of water in order to curb
water wastage encourage its conservation and avoid water theft activities. We also measure the
quality of water distributed to every household by deploying pH and conductivity sensors. The
traditional water metering systems require periodic human intervention for maintenance making
it inconvenient and often least effective. For shortcoming of the existing models for a ubiquitous
usage of wireless systems for smart quality monitoring and communicate data wirelessly.
Outcomes of Proposed Work:
1. Enhancement of water monitoring and controlling systems by involving real time based
data collection.
2. Effective and efficient usage of water.
3. Determining the pure water intake.
4. Awareness about water consumption.
