IoT based Water Monitoring and Alerting System

Abstract

Water is an integral part of life. 70% of the world is covered with water and about 2.5 is fresh, hence conservation of water becomes important. This paper presents a smart water management and alert system using the Arduino uno as IoT solution, for water distribution support and consumption. The proposed system presents a design of a low cost system for real time monitoring of quantity and quality of water using IOT. The system has sensors that measure the quantity and quality of the water. The measured values from the sensors can be processed by the arduino uno controller. A cloud platform was configured for data saving and analysis. The graph will be generated based on the analysis of usage of water. And then it will send an alert to the user about the usage of the water. This system gives accurate knowledge about how much water is being consumed in houses over a period of time. Hence consumption of water in the houses can be controlled. If impure water is detected in the system then an alert will be sent to the user on the mobile phone mentioning the pH value and usage of water. This will help to solve water shortage problems in cities. Thus, this feature is going to be very common in future buildings.
