Secured Domestic Water Monitoring and Distribution System

Abstract

Excess usage of water than it is actually needed and water theft are the major issues leading to water scarcity nowadays. Some people draw more water by using motor pump. Whenever they use motor pump, or they open the valve to the maximum, the flow rate will be increased. Hence in the proposed system, measurement of flow rate plays a vital role. Water monitoring and theft prevention system are employed which records the flow rate and thereby providing notification about the theft and excess usage of water. In the proposed system, each consumer end is provided with a water flow monitoring system which consists of a flow sensor to measure the flow rate and an arduino controller for recording the flow rate. The flow rate value will be sent to the water distribution station using GSM. The flow rate is fixed by the central water distribution station, so that each consumer end will be receiving an equal quantity of water. Solenoid valve is attached in the Pipeline so that the flow rate can be varied by adjusting the valve position. The valve position, time of supply and the flow rate will be controlled by the central water distribution system. The GSM MODEM is initiated by the ON/OFF switch which is controlled by the arduino.
