Autonomous Water Flow Control And Monitoring System

Water conservation and management has become an important topic in recent times due to rapid decline of water resources across the globe. Water scarcity is a looming crisis brought on by climate changes, population explosion and wasteful water usage practices. There is need to design and implement cost-effective and user friendly systems for water management which require little or no manual intervention. In this paper an autonomous system is presented that can mitigate water wastage using real time water flow control and monitoring. The designed prototype uses IR sensors to automatically cease water discharge from overflowing faucets and taps. The system uses water flow sensor for water usage monitoring. This real time water consumption data in an area can be stored in cloud server for analytics purposes.
