IoT base smart water leakage detection system

Abstract

Water is an important resource in life. Every creature’s life depends on water availability, is used for various purposes in daily routine. This system has been developed to detect a leakage of pipe to be maintained directly in a short time. So, it is important to have real-time control of water leakage to avoid any issues. This will be achieved by introducing a system that will detect leakage in water distribution pipes. It consists of water flow sensors placed on the pipe to sense the rate of water, microcontroller Arduino Nano to control hardware modules, power supply, Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) for sending messages to the mobile phone of authorities also it allows transmission of email notifications. This project aims to implement a water leakage detection system for plastic water supply pipelines using the internet of things (IoT) in the College of Science and Technology/MUHABURA Block Building for keeping the availability of water in the toilettes used by students and staff as it is a building with many rooms.
