Smart Water Leakage Alert System for Residential Buildings

Water shortages have increased in recent years due to overpopulation, climate change, aging water facilities, and water leakage due to damaged pipes. The issue is not the volume of water leaking, but rather the time it takes to notice and fix the problem. Water delivery systems are necessary for the sustainable use and conservation of water resources. This summary provides a concise overview of systems for managing water, their importance and key components. Effective water management requires application of practices, technologies and procedures that ensure efficient collection, treatment, distribution and storage of water for various purposes. In order to eliminate water scarcity, minimize pollution, prepare for the effects of climate change, enhance the wellbeing of ecosystems and communities, water delivery systems are essential. By managing water resources effectively and implementing sustainable practices, societies can guarantee a consistent water supply for the present and upcoming generations. In the present work, prototype model is developed and it consists of a surface sensor installed in the water tank, a microprocessor to read and evaluate the data. A sensor is used to monitor and control the level of water in the tank. Using the level sensor, the system initially determines how much water is in the tank, and based on the water level, the water is pumped into the tank accordingly. The goal of the planned work is to develop a real- time prototype to detect water leaks in pipes, updating the information to ThingSpeak server and send an SMS to the customer, alerting the person to take up the preventive measure as a priority.

I. Introduction

With the increase in the region's population, the floodplain expanded, causing serious problems in water supply. As a result, water management has become a major challenge today [1]. As the population of the region grew, the decision to use flat water expanded, causing serious problems in water supply. Scientists, technicians, politicians and other populations of the planet are becoming more and more educated about the problem. The threat of pollution looms large and limits water resources. The loss of this vital fluid necessitates particular attention. The part of bubbling water in rivers, lakes and Underground sources contain the most effective three percent of the world's total water supply. In addition, the discovered water needs a drug that removes human-absorbable, residual substances and harmful organisms, and ultimately, it should be distributed through pipes to shelters. India is the world's largest water man. The nation uses more groundwater than the US and China put together. More than half of the nation's clean water needs are satisfied by groundwater [2]. 230 km 3 of groundwater is used, which is a quarter of the world's water volume. Groundwater accounts for most of India's agricultural and drinking water. 89%, 9% and 2% of groundwater are used in agriculture, households and in industry. Groundwater levels decreased by 61 % between 2007 and 2017. Additionally, 12% of global groundwater exports come from India, making India the world's third largest exporter. This is caused by increased urbanization, industrialization, population growth, as well as insufficient rainfall.
