Project Title:
Water level detector using NAND Gate IC

Project Circuit Diagram:

logisim :
Components:

• Breadboard
• 3 LEDs
• Nand IC
• 1 Buzzer
• 2 Resistors 10 K ohms
• 1 Resistor 100k ohms
• Connecting wires
• 9v Battery
• One Glass of Water

Working principle of the project:

When the water stared filling to the over head water tank then the green
led glows, next when the level reaches upto the mid level of the over
head water tank then yellow led glows after that the red led glows that
the tank is going to be full or full at last the buzzer sounds when tank is
going to be over flow.

Benefits of project:

• Easy to install.
• Very little maintenance.
• Compact design.
• Automatic water level indicators ensure no overflows or running of
dry pumps.
• Saves money by using less water and electricity.
• Can help avoid seepage of walls and roofs due to tanks
overflowing.
• Automatic save you can save manual labor time.
• Consumes very little energy, perfect for continuous operation.
• Shows incitation of water levels in any type of tank.

Practical Application project:

The water level detector circuits are used in factories, chemical plants,
and electrical substations and in other liquid storage systems. There are
many possible uses for this simple system, examples include monitoring
a sump pit (to control pump activation), rainfall detection, and leakage
detection. Electronic water level circuits have the capability of alerting if
there is a water leak somewhere in the factory. When the water level is
too high or too low or exceeds the higher limit, it can detect the water
level easily by hearing an alarm sound or from different colors of a light
bulb. We can also measure the fuel level in motor vehicles and the liquid
level containers which are huge in the companies.

Future modification:
The basics need of human being is water and it is one of the most
important necesserty for all living beings. But unfortunately a huge
amount of water is being wasted by uncontrolled use and due to our
negligence.
Some other automated water level monitoring system is also offered so
far but most of the method has some shortness in practice. We tried to
overcome these problems and implemented an efficient automated
water level monitoring and controlling system.
Main intension of this project is to establish a flexible, economical
and easy configurable system which can solve water losing
problems.
• In the near future as home automation web based water level
monitoring and controlling system can be designed, through
which the system can be controlled from any place via internet
through mobile phone.
• In future, we want upgrade this circuit with some sensor which can
automatically stop the power supply of the driving pump or motor.
This could have a substantial benefit from this project for efficient
management of water.

Conclusion:

• We design a simple and low cost water level indicator. This is not
only for water tank but also used for oil level and chemical lab.
• To design this system, we used nand IC as a platform and local
materials for low cost. We tried to design a system in such a way
that its components will be able to prevent the wastage of water.
• The whole system operates automatically. So it does not need any
expert person to operate it.
• It is not so expensive.
• This design has much more scope for future research and
development.
• Though it is a project, we hope some modification in this project
will lead to a reasonable diversity of usage.
