AUTOMATIC WATER LEVEL INDICATOR
Problem Statement:
Design an automatic water level indicator system

capable of accurately monitoring the water levels in a
tank or reservoir. The system should provide real-time
information about the water level and trigger alerts
when the water reaches predefined levels. The aim is to
ensure efficient management of water resources and
prevent overflow or depletion of water in the tank.

SOLUTION:
Creating an automatic water level indicator involves several steps, from
designing the sensing mechanism to implementing the user interface.
Below is a comprehensive solution that outlines the components and
methodologies to develop this system.
1. Sensing Mechanism
Ultrasonic Sensor Solution:
Component: HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor.

Operation: The sensor emits ultrasonic waves that reflect off the water
surface. The time taken for the echo to return is proportional to the
distance from the sensor to the water surface.
Advantages: Non-contact measurement, which reduces wear and tear and
is unaffected by water quality.
2. Data Transmission
Wired vs. Wireless:
Option 1: Wired (Simple and Reliable): Use cables to connect the sensor
to the CPU. Suitable for small tanks or when the sensor is close to the
monitoring system.
Option 2: Wireless (Flexible and Scalable): Utilize Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for
data transmission. Ideal for large tanks or remote monitoring. Components
could include ESP8266 or ESP32 for Wi-Fi connectivity.
3. Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Microcontroller:
Component: Arduino UNO or ESP32 (if wireless communication is needed).
Function: Receives data from the sensor, calculates the water level, and
determines if the level is within acceptable thresholds.
4. Alert System
Multi-Level Alerts:
Visual Alerts: LEDs that indicate low, medium, and high levels.
Sound Alerts: A buzzer that activates at critical levels (e.g., too
User Interface:
1. Local Display:
• Use an LCD screen connected to the microcontroller to
display the current water level and status messages in real-
time.
2. Web Interface or Mobile App (for advanced implementations):
• Develop a simple web interface or mobile app that
communicates with the microcontroller over Wi-Fi.
• Allow users to view real-time data, receive notifications, and
configure threshold levels remotely.
Implementation Steps:
1.Hardware Assembly:
• Connect the ultrasonic sensor and float switches (if used) to
the microcontroller according to their specifications.
• Set up the alert mechanisms (LEDs, buzzer) and ensure they
are correctly interfaced with the microcontroller.
• Integrate the Wi-Fi module for Internet connectivity, if not
already present in the microcontroller.
2. Software Development:
• Write the program for the microcontroller to handle sensor
readings, calculate water levels, and manage alerts based on
predefined thresholds.
• Develop the web interface or mobile app, if applicable, for
remote monitoring and control.
3. Testing and Calibration:

• Test the system in various water level conditions to calibrate
sensor readings and validate the alert system.
• Adjust the software logic as necessary to improve accuracy
and
4. Deployment:
Install the system in the intended tank or reservoir.
Perform final testing in situ to ensure the system operates
correctly unde Actual conditions.
Maintenance and Upgrades:
Plan for regular maintenance checks to ensure the system's reliability

over time.
Consider future upgrades, such as adding more sensors for better
coverage or integrating advanced IoT features for smarter water
management.
This solution combines hardware innovation with software intelligence to

create an effective system for automatic water level monitoring, alerting,
and potentially even controlling water input or output mechanisms
based on the detected levels.

LITERATURE SYRVEY OF RESEARCH PAPER
ABSTRACTION:
Water scarcity is one of the major problems facing major
cities of the world and wastage during transmission has
been identified as a major culprit. To create barrier to
wastage an effort has been made in this research, to deploy
computing techniques in creating 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. An initiative has been
adopted in this research by embedding a control system
into an automatic water pump controller through logic gate
IC, Resistors, LED, TIP 127, Buzzer and Diode to automate
the process of water pumping in an over-head tank storage
system to detect the level of water in a tank, switch on/off
the pump accordingly the status on tank.
Provision has been made to the pump which makes it stop
to operate and a high signal to the buzzer connected to the
transistor which notifies the user that the container is full by
making continuous repetitive sound. Thus, the pump is
stopped as soon as the container gets filled. Thus, water
level is controlled.
This paper was intended to 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 transistor 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 usa

CONCLUSION SCOPE FOR FUTURE WORK
The basics need of human being is water and it is one

of the most important necessarily 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 research work 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. This could have
substantial benefit from this research work for efficient
management of water.
