IoT based Power and Water Theft Detection in Urban Cities

Many people in metropolitan areas have experienced problems with energy and water shortages. Some people used modern technologies and advancements to theft water and power illegally. Because the planet absolutely needs both water and power. Currently, the Internet of Things (IoT), smart meters, smart pipelines, and smart homes are being heavily integrated to replace traditional systems for detecting theft activities. This can be digitizing both the meter readings and the data that has been gathered. Wireless technology may be used to collect and analyze the data, which helps to reduce the need for physical labor. In this project, we suggested creating an IoT-based system for water and power theft detection. The proposed project aims to design a system to monitor the amount of power and water used by the people and indicates if water and electricity theft activities happen. This research study offers a user interface system to help people to monitor whether anyone is stealing their water or power. This study employs a hardware like voltage sensors, current sensors, flow sensors, and additionally, the Arduino IoT cloud to enable remote control and monitor the water and power usage.
