1. INTRODUCTION

In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized various sectors by
enabling the seamless connection and communication of devices over the internet.
One of the critical applications of IoT is in the realm of water management, where
monitoring water levels in tanks, reservoirs, and other storage units is vital for
efficient resource utilization and management.
This project focuses on the development of an IoT-based water level monitoring
system utilizing the ESP32 microcontroller, Blynk platform, and ultrasonic sensor
technology. The system aims to provide real-time monitoring and data visualization
of water levels, offering users the convenience of remote monitoring and
management.
The ESP32 microcontroller serves as the central processing unit, facilitating the
integration of the ultrasonic sensor for accurate distance measurement and the Blynk
platform for cloud-based data visualization and control. The ultrasonic sensor
operates on the principle of sound wave reflection to measure the distance between
the sensor and the water surface accurately.
Through the Blynk platform, users can access the water level data from anywhere
with an internet connection, using their smartphones or other devices. The system
provides customizable alerts and notifications to users, enabling proactive actions
based on water level thresholds.
This project not only demonstrates the practical application of IoT in water
management but also highlights the potential for scalable and cost-effective
solutions in addressing real-world challenges. By leveraging IoT technologies, we
can enhance the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of water resource
management systems, contributing to a more resilient and environmentally
conscious future.

3. AIM & OBJECTIVES


Aim: To develop and implement a cost-effective and reliable IoT-based water level monitoring
system using an ESP32 microcontroller, Blynk platform, and an ultrasonic sensor.
Our project aims to develop an Internet of Things (IoT)-based water level monitoring system using
the ESP32 microcontroller and the Blynk platform. By integrating ultrasonic sensor technology,
we seek to provide accurate and non-contact measurement of water levels in storage units. The
system will enable remote monitoring and control, allowing users to access real-time data and
receive alerts via the internet.

Objectives: Our objective is to create hardware components and firmware for data acquisition
and communication, integrate the Blynk platform for data visualization and alert setting, and
conduct thorough testing to ensure system accuracy and reliability. Through comprehensive
documentation and reporting, we aim to provide insights into the project's design, implementation,
and potential contributions to efficient water resource management.

5. Results and Analysis


 First we have completed the circuit.
 After that we uploaded it to arduino code esp32 and tested it with a test run. It worked
well. Now we are trying to make it work through python code.
 We have converted the arduino code to micropython code and we have installed the project
needed libraries to the ESP 32 board
 After we have used thonny ide to run the micropython code and when we run the code we
got some errors .but we fixed that errors.
 Now the micropython code run correctly and no any errors.
