Smart Water Leakage Monitoring System

Abstract

The main aim of this project is to develop an intelligent monitoring system for water leakage detection in the water distribution system. Leakage constitutes a major loss of drinking water when supplied through pipeline systems. Introducing automated leakage detection systems would save a huge amount of water globally. Water leak detection by means of a simple embedded system aids water conservation in a cost-effective way. It focuses mainly on two parts: The first part is a real-time water leakage detection system using a flow meter. The second is the controlling part; it uses Arduino to control the solenoid valve and alert the owner using the Blynk application with the aid of a Wi-Fi module. The system is made up of basic components: flow rate sensors, a Wi-Fi module, Arduino, and relays to control the device. The result of using the proposed system is improving the efficiency of operation, reducing delay time and cost of maintenance pipelines after leakage detection.
