Smart Drainage System using Zig Bee and IoT

Abstract

Early detection of drainage leakages are utmost important to avoid mixing with pure water. Leaving a clogged pipe unattended can prompt expanded pressure inside pipes, which would then be able to split and blast. This leads to an expensive problem that can cause significant damage. The other major problem faced mostly during rainy season is breeding of pests at roads due to drainage overflow which causes several waters borne diseases. Besides the traditional methods of identifying a leakage which incurs a high cost but low efficiency, this project presents with flow sensor and ultrasonic sensor which detects leakage and overflow respectively with the help of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) which is based on ZigBee technology and Internet of Things (IOT) and an alert is sent through the mobile app to the authorities in Municipal Corporation prior overflow or any blockage to avoid leakage.
