ABSTRACT:

The drinking water crisis in Bangladesh is reaching alarming proportions. It might very soon attain the nature of global crisis. Hence, it is of outmost importance to preserve water. In many houses there is unnecessary wastage of water due to overflow in Overhead Tanks. Automatic Water Level Controller can provide a solution to this problem. It can be most useful through android mobile apps. So water can be used to open or close and levels. As the water level rises or falls, different circuits in the controller send different signals. These signals are used to switch ON or switch OFF or Level mention and Control motor pump by Android apps as per our requirements.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

First and foremost, we would like to thank our Honorable Course Lecturer of this project, Ms Marium-E-Jannat for his valuable guidance and advice. She guided us greatly towork in this project. Her willingness to motivate us helped tremendously. Next wethank Anwar Hossian (CSE 4-2) for without his helping hand the project would beincomplete... Finally, an honorable mention goes to our friends for theirunderstanding and support in completing this project. Without help of thosementioned above, this project could not have been completed.

INTRIDUCTION:

A Water Level Detector may be defined as a system by which we can get the information of any water levels. Water level Detector system is quite useful to reduce the wastage of water from any reservoir, while filling such reservoir. A simple water level indicator can be made using the Embedded Application Board (EAB).

Nowadays everybody has overhead tank at their homes. But everyone who has a water tank above knows the kind of problems that they face. Firstly there is no system to track the water in the tank. Then there come a secondary problem that is when their water pump is started they have no idea when it gets filled up and sometimes there are situation where the pump keeps on pumping water to the tank and the water starts spilling out from the tank. There is wastage of energy as well as wastage of water.

The house where we live in has an overhead tank which is about 30 feet from the ground level. We were getting bored going up the rooftop to check whether the tank has filled or the water level was below to start the pump. We had to do this again and again. We always used to think of the possibilities of how can this problem be tackled in Embedded Application System

Why WE Choice

Suppose 8 litter water waste from a water tank five days in a week, Then in a month we waste (8*5*4) =160 litter drinking water, Again in a year we waste (160*12) =1920 litter water from a water tank. If ten water tank in area waste the same amount of drinking water then we waste in a year (1920*10)= 19,200 litter water.

‘‘We can save those amounts of drinking water for better future by our device.’’

MOTIVATION

OBJECTIVES

The Components required for building the water level Detector and Motor Controlling application are:Wi-Fi Modules or Router Sensor (Read Switch)WiresTransistor ResistorAroduino Uno R3

Power Supply WaterMotorMagnetAndroid PhoneAluminum pipes

The total amount of water available on Earth has been estimated at 1.4 billion cubic kilometers, enough to cover the planet with a layer of about 3 km. About 95% of the Earth's water is in the oceans, which is unfit for human consumption. About 4% is locked in the polar ice caps, and the rest 1% constitutes all fresh water found in rivers, streams and lakes which are suitable for our consumption. A study estimated that a person in India consumes an average of 135 liters per day. This consumption would rise by 40% by the year 2025. This signifies the need to preserve our fresh water resources.

Easy installation.

Low maintenance.

Compact elegant design.

To compare the controller with the conventional controllers available in market andFind the advantages of the former over the latter

The Automatic water level controller ensures no overflows or dry running of pump there by saves electricity and water.

Avoid seepage of roofs and walls due to overflowing tanks.

Fully automatic, saves man power.

Consume very little energy, ideal for continuous operation.

Automatic water level controller provides you the flexibility to decide for yourself the water levels for operations of pumpset.

Working Process or System

In our project we divide our Working process into two parts1. Hardware Connection.

Step 1: At first We cheek the sensors to test its performances .as it is read switch we test it thought magnet it triggered successfully and we confirm that our sensors is working. Step 2: we take a sensed water level as Adriano input Step 3. We send water level to the network.Step 4: we puts the water level on the server.Step5: we repeat the process again

For this we may design a water sensor by using any the wire with Black color is connected to Vcc of the EAB. The wires with colors Blue, Red, Green & Yellow are adjusted to check Level1, Level2, Level3 and Level4 respectively. Each of these four wires is connected to the Embedded Application Board (EAB).

2. Andorid app development (interfacing) We control the motor switch through android mobile apps by Adriano board.

Advantages

Conclusion and Scope:

A. Maintenance It is an economical system that requires very less maintenance as compared to conventional system as it has no complicated circuits and delicate mechanisms. This saves the additional maintenance cost.

B. Cost The main advantage of the water level controller is it has very low cost than the conventional one available in markets. For example, some commercial controllers use microcontrollers which alone costs around Taka 5000-8000. But for our system, the components used are less in number and easily available. Hence losses will be less leading to a better efficiency.

C. Construction The construction of a water level controller is very simple as it requires only a few components. The circuit involved is also relatively simpler.

D. Skill Required Since the system of water level controller is simpler than the ones conventionally available. The controller can also be easily operated by anyone. On a final note, the conventional controllers in market mostly use sensors and microcontrollers. These increase the cost as well as the complexity of the system. We have developed a rather simpler but efficient model of a water level controller.

Automatic Water level Controller can be used in Hotels, Factories, Homes Apartments, Commercial Complexes, Drainage, etc., it can be fixed for single phase motor, Single Phase Submersibles. Automatic water level controller will automatically START the pump set as soon as the water level falls below the predetermined level and shall SWITCH OFF the pump set as soon as tank is full.

Water levels can also be seen in mobile screen.
