Smart Water Solution

Problem Statement
Ever since mankind came into existence, the proper use as well as management of water has been a topic of much debate as well as caution for everyone.
One of the crucial challenges of water management as well as conservation in a city is to determine the amount of water that any particular city is going to utilize during the next day, figuring out the right amount of water that must be present in the reservoirs and overhead tanks during any particular point of time.
Solution The purpose of this project is to have a smarter way of water
management in order to conserve water resources and energy. Water utilization requirement can be met by conserving and storing
the Rain Water. Rainwater harvesting is a process or technique of collecting, storing and using rainwater for domestic and various other purposes. Harvesting rainwater allows us to better utilize an energy resource and reduces water bills.
Proper maintenance of water outlets, their proper scheduling of repairing is must in order to reduce the water losses to leakages and breakages.
Optimized the energy consumption requirement for pumping water. This can be achieved by ensuring a right combination of pumping configuration.
Predictive analytics techniques can be used for getting the right amount of water at the right destination for the right duration.
Sensors There is one level sensor for each storage tank. This checks the available amount of water in the storage tank. Smart switching between different storage tanks and the rainwater
storage tank is done through this level sensor. Flow rate sensor and Pressure change sensor are linked with water
outlet to calculate flow rate and pressure change when water outlet is running.
If sensor detects a high value in flow rate and pressure change then sends an alarm of possible leakages in the water outlet.
Architecture Schema
Architecture Explanation If a consumer starts a water outlet, its being checked first if water is present
in the Rainwater Tank, water outlet gets water from the rainwater tank. If water is below level sensor, then it switches to main storage tank for
consumption. Rainwater tank can be refilled if condition met of amount of rainfall in that
particular region. It continuously checks rainwater tank level sensor, if water is more then
water outlet consumption again switched to rainwater tank. Main Storage Tank can be refilled from the Global Water Resource. If water is not available in any of the tanks and also the rainwater tank, then
water outlet is forcedly stopped. Throughout the running of water outlet its being sensed with the flow rate
and pressure difference and possible leakage is found if flow rate or pressure exceeds.

Future Scopes Scaling the Rain Water Harvesting technique across the city, so the
customer can make use of the rain water tanks across the city. Optimizing the energy consumption further by proper pump
scheduling using the time constraints, so is to what is the optimal time for pump starting and to what period the pump should remain started.
Enhancing the maintenance and repairing of leakages in water outlets using time constraints so as to predict in advance when repairing needs to be done.
