Description

Abstract

The main aim of the project is to design a system that will monitor and control the water level in the dams and also intimates the concerned authority when the water level exceeds the limit.

Purposed System

This project is monitoring the water level in dams using water level sensors. In this project checks continuously the water flow in dams. If the water level exceeds the higher limit sends SMS to the concerned person using GSM technology.

Description

In this project, we are using Microcontroller which controls all the operations regarding the level of water in the dam. For this process, we require the components such as a microcontroller, GSM modem, control circuitry, power supply, and sensors. These sensors are placed at different threshold levels and are connected to the controller. If for suppose the level of water is being increased in the dam, then immediately when the water level crossed the sensor at level-1, the information is passed to the controller and then the controller checks for the precaution instruction which is given by the developer and forwards it to the GSM modem. The GSM modem immediately sends that particular SMS to the mobiles for which it is assigned saying that “the Water level has crossed the threshold level-1”.

The controlling part of the water level is also done by the microcontroller through the instructions given by the developer. This includes operations such as the number of gates to be opened, the number of threshold levels that are crossed. This process, the controller monitored by the number of threshold levels that are crossed and according to that the gates are being controlled.

Result

As a result, this system will help to monitor the different threshold levels in dams and also sends the information to the concerned authority to take the appropriate decision.
