Abstract
An efficient water supply management system can be one of the applications of the Internet of Things (IoT). Water is a basic physiological need, and smart management of water plays a significant role in a smart city. This paper focuses on a mathematical model and IoT framework that aid in developing a smart city. A framework is developed for water supply management. The efficiency of the water supply can be measured by monitoring leakage conditions, overflow of water, automatic meter reading and online bill payments, and water consumption status of households, community, state, and eventually the whole country as well as the automatic water supply line cut-off. The system where the IoT is being deployed consists of embedded hardware in which sensors and microcontrollers provide messages and gain feedback from each other with the help of the internet, and this process can not only be monitored but also can be controlled from a remote location. The developed framework addresses all these aspects and mathematical equations are used and formulated while developing the IoT application. The mathematical equations are concentrated on consumption level (CL), leakage reporting (LR), and bill amount (BA) based on consumption. These become the point of contact for deploying IoT and eventually a framework is developed. This framework can be useful not only in water supply management but also in the management of road traffic, pollution, garbage, home automation and so on. In a nutshell, this paper illustrates the usage of the IoT framework in water supply management which contributes to developing the smart city.
Highlights
Introduction iationsThe Internet of Things (IoT) is a contemporary area that is enticing many researchers [1].Different definitions have been given by several researchers over the last two decades.Some emphasize the network character of IoT and others highlight the objects that are connected to this network
The use of ultrasonic sensors means that the installation is easy as it is independent of the water path but only dependent on the reservoir. The framework focuses both on data generation along with its application
Problems were not reported by the house owners; they were delighted with having such a system installed at their house because this IoT application prevented the overflow of water and identified the leakage pertinent in all these six spots
Summary
Introduction iationsThe Internet of Things (IoT) is a contemporary area that is enticing many researchers [1].Different definitions have been given by several researchers over the last two decades.Some emphasize the network character of IoT and others highlight the objects that are connected to this network. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a contemporary area that is enticing many researchers [1]. Most of the definitions concentrate on internet-based connections and acquiring real-time data [2]. All of these definitions come down to viewing. The importance of IoT is clearly explained in the above definition presenting the wide scope of IoT. It ignores the quality and capability factors of IoT which are of high importance for creating value to the public, in the sense of smart government, and that is a major objective of IoT [1]. IoT can be understood as the ability of things to behave on their own, and share data and available resources by Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland
