Water Level Monitoring and Leakage Detection System using Long Range Module (LoRa)

Abstract

Rising global environmental issues and rapidly growing population demands a massive need for water supply. These issues in-turn have made water conservation and water management an emergency aspect of human survival. Water level detection and leakage detection are paramount aspects of these issues. Therefore, a system is required to adequately manage the water resource by tracking the water level and to detect damage when there is a leak. The detection of water level will use “state-of-art” VL53L1X technology and leak detection will use a flow meter based on a hall sensor. Data transmission will be through long-range (LoRa) and real-time retrieving of data can be done using cloud server and various display units. LoRa provides increased coverage areas with high accuracy in data transmission. The results show that the proposed system works effectively in varied environmental conditional.
