MARKET POTENTIAL
Market Potential of this water level indicator is very high for
following reason.
3.1 Simple circuit:
This water level indicator consists with a simple circuit. It
is so simple to install and its so much easy to use.
3.2 Low cost
The equipments required for this circuit are readily available
in the market and of very low value.
3.3 Low voltage consumption
The circuit does not need any AC auxilliary supply, it operates
on DC voltage source (9 V DC). Thus it is a very low consumption circuit.
3.4 Pollution control
Process Involved in the manufacturing of this item does
not have any effect on environment
CHAPTER:10
Process of manufacture
A simple water level indicator can be made using resistors,
LEDs, etc. For this it may be designed a water sensor by using
conducting wires. In this paper we have designed the sensor
to measure water up to four levels. Take 4 segments of insulated conducting wires. Tore out the
ends of these wires, approximately 1cm. Adjust the length of the wire segments according to the
water levels. In the following diagram it has
been displayed with 4 different colours. The wire with Black
10
colour is connected to buzzer. The wires with colours Yellow,
Red, &Green are adjusted to check Level1, Level2, Level3 and
Level4 respectively.
Water level indicator works through the following circuit diagram. Here this circuit is connected
to 9 volt dc voltage
source. The positive end of the dc source is connected to the
over head water tank and the negative end of the dc source is
connected the diode leds and the buzzer accordingly.
The other end of the leds are connected to the 220 ohm resistors and the resistor ends are
connected to the separately to
the over head water tank. The buzzer’s other end is connected
to the over head water tank here the resistor is not connected.
One switch is connected between the positive voltage source
of the circuit and the battery.
CHAPTER:11
Future Work
In future, we want upgrade this circuit with some sensor
which can automatically stop the power supply of the driving
pump or motor. As a result the future circuit is not very
cheaper the the present one, but we try our best to
• Make it simple,
• Easy to use,
• Easy to install,
• To make Available for all,
• Try to smaller than the present one.

CONCLUSION
The water level Inndicator employs a simple mechanism to detect and indicate the water level in
an over head tank or any other water container. The sensing is done by using a set of four probes
which are placed at four different levels. We can conclude that this system is very beneficial in
rural as well as urban areas. It helps in the efficient utilization of available water sources. If used
on a large scale, it can provide a major contribution in the conservation of water for us and the
future generations. In these days, when the Earth's reserve of consumable water is decreasing
every moment, every drop has its value. Water level controller is a simple yet effective way to
prevent wastage of water. Its simplicity in design and low cost components make it an ideal
piece of technology for the common man.
