Wireless Water Level Controller Using Zigbee

Abstract: Water is the most important Nature’s gift to the mankind. Without Water there is no life. Now man understood its importance, especially where water is not easily available. Now this is being managed by the proper manner in city areas where the use of water is more than its availability. This is one of the motivations for this research, to deploy computing techniques in creating a barrier to wastage in order to not only provide more financial gains and energy saving, but also help the environment and water cycle which in turn ensures that we save water for our future.

In this paper we have discussed about design and implementation of water level control system which is wireless, automatic, cost effective and reliable. It uses two zigbee transceivers along with a controller each installed at the tank and in the household. Zigbee transceivers are used for wireless communication. It is completely automated with the help of a microcontroller. Installation cost is reduced since the system is wireless. It is reliable because it has no problems arising after installation such as breakage of wire.

Keywords: microcontroller, water pump, conductivity, computer simulation, zigbee, tranceivers.

I. INTRODUCTION

Decreasing water level is one of the key concerns now a days. Due to increasing population many water related problems like water pollution, wastage of water, water scarcity, etc. is arising day by day. So there is a need of sustainable utilisation of water resources in order to use them efficiently by present generation as well as conserving it for the future generation. Monitoring and controlling water level in the reservoir is an important task in homes and offices in order to reduce wastage of water. To avoid one such problem of reducing water level inside the earth we have developed an automatic water level controller circuit using zigbee.
