Smart Water Conservation And Rainwater Harvesting System: A Step Towards Sustainable Water Management

Abstract

Water is the most important limited source of every living creature on the earth. Water scarcity is increasing day by day and it is essential to realize the true importance of drinking water. In this paper, water tank monitoring system is proposed that can help to reduce the wastage of water due to overflowing by automatically turning off the pump when the water level in the tank reaches upper threshold limit. It will also reduce human intervention as pump will be switched on automatically when water level falls below lower threshold limit. Proposed system for automatic rainwater harvesting can help to store rainwater by automatically opening lid of the tank when rain fall is detected and lid will be closed automatically when rainfall stops, maintaining quality of the water. With IOT, this entire activity can be monitored through the mobile application. This paper is a step towards sustainable water management.
