Abstract
The low cost effective wireless sensor network that The low cost effective wireless sensor network that allows for embedded system to monitor and control virtually any space and environment and to form the so called Internet of Things or Internet of Everything. The research work is intended to address a general problem associated with effective water utilization management, among others is the issue of water leakages, there is the need to effectively detect cases of leakages and address them appropriately. However, the sensitivity of the flow rate sensors used poses a number of challenges, hence the need to setup an appropriate calibration scheme that will allows for the flow rate sensor, effective adoption and usage ,isolating false alarm due to deficiencies associated with operation of the flow rate sensor as well as detecting leakages . A frame work build around a flow rate sensor, solenoid valve, a microcontroller equipped with internet connectivity and a log in service monitoring and control platform on the cloud is used. Several simulated tests were carried out to explore a number of leakage scenarios. Based on the analysed data obtained overtime, appropriate algorithms were developed to allow for quick detection, remote monitoring and control of deduced cases of leakages. The work has significantly addressed the challenges poses to the effect leakages with the adopted framework.

The low cost effective wireless sensor network that allows for embedded system to monitor and control virtually any space and environment and to form the so-called Internet of Things or Internet of Everything
Model that uses Internet of things (IOT) technology for water management was adopted to monitor water distribution network for domestic usage, check for leakages, and all other activities surrounding the use of water in the domestic environment
2012) that extensively work on sensor activation for water distribution networks and their approach was based on compressive sensing scheduling scheme that store energy by activating only a small unit of the sensor nodes in each of the timeslot to sense and transmit
Summary
Water qualities and pipeline leakages in water distribution networks (WDNs) can be better monitored by IOT, to ensure the drinking water of citizens be clean, and to avoid wasting water due to the leakages All these technological systems are enabled by the communication infrastructure in the IOT environment and together form smart cities and environments [1]. Model that uses IOT technology for water management was adopted to monitor water distribution network for domestic usage, check for leakages, and all other activities surrounding the use of water in the domestic environment (that is home use) Another important metric is the monitoring performance, the average time for events detection, and the accuracy of measurements. They are only opened in time of failure of supply from the storage tanks [5]
