IoT based Water Level Monitoring and Management in Reservoir

Abstract

A vital need exists to safeguard the safety of dams and reservoirs' water levels against natural or human threats. Therefore, this paper designs an efficient IoT-based Water Level Management system that may be used for this purpose. Owing to the existing flood gate management mechanism, uncontrolled water levels might cause a reservoir to overflow due to the lack of information to the flood gate supervisor. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the newest and fastest-growing disciplines of technology. Using a web server as an interface, the IoT on this prototype allows for real-time management and monitoring of water level. Ultrasonic sensors for reading water level data and stepper motor actuators for sluice gate control are utilized in conjunction with an ESP 32 micro-controller. Each of the 20 experiments shows an error rate of 0% and a data transmission latency of 2 seconds based on the readings from the IoT-based sensor
