Abstract
Water scarcity and water quality degradation are becoming significant global issues due to rapid urbanization and improper water management practices. This paper proposes a smart IoT-based system named Aqua Sense, which can be used for real-time monitoring of water consumption and water quality in water tanks, cities, and commercial areas. In the proposed system, water flow, water level, pH, TDS, and turbidity sensors are connected to an ESP32 microcontroller for real-time monitoring of water parameters. A threshold-based approach and an alert counter are used for efficient water parameter monitoring. Moreover, motor control is also included in the proposed system for efficient water management, which can prevent water overflow and motor dry running. All the operations of the proposed system are stored in a cloud database, which can be accessed remotely using a mobile or web-based application. The experimental results of the proposed system show efficient water parameter monitoring, water savings, and increased awareness of water consumption. The proposed system can be used as a cost-effective, efficient, and reliable solution for water management systems.
