DESIGN AND AUTOMATION OF AN IOT-BASED AUTOMATED WATER PUMPING SYSTEM

This project focuses on the design and automation of automated water pumping systems which aims to solve water wastage and provide efficient water control, management and usage. Majority of the earth's surface is covered with water but less than 5% is useful. So, water conserving has become a major issue so certain water management steps are taken. Measuring water level is an important task from government and residence side. Thus, existing management systems has to be updated. In this project, I investigated the water level management using ultrasonic sensor which detects the amount of water present in the tank and returns the percentage of water present in it. This system has an Esp 32 microcontroller, a motor pump, an LCD display, water tanks, and an ultrasonic sensor. All components are interfaced with the Esp32 and works by automation as per uploaded code. I divided the water tank by 10%, 20%,... 100%. 10% is the condition of the tank where the quantity of water is very less and finally 100% where the water level is at maximum. We have to monitor the tank, when the water in it is getting less, but here we make use of an ultrasonic sensor that monitors the water level. So that the systemautomatically triggers the relay and motor to pump till water gets to 70% of the tank, so, no one is required to monitor the tank or switch the motor. The main thing I employed is the IoT used to remotely access the water level and pump status using a smart device such as a mobile phone or a PC.
