Abstract

Water is a fundamental resource that sustains life, supports ecosystems, and plays a crucial role in various natural processes on earth. Water wastage is a major problem in the world, with a variety of causes including leaks in infrastructure and inefficient usage methods. A typical cause of water wastage is overflow from reservoirs or tanks as a result of poor maintenance or monitoring. This paper proposes a novel water resource management using internet of things (WARM-IoT) system to monitor and regulate the water level remotely by integrating IoT technology with demand side management (DSM) strategies, real-time monitoring of water levels has been achieved. The approach utilizes an ultrasonic sensor and Raspberry Pi for data acquisition and processing, fuzzy logic for decision-making, and an Android app for remote monitoring and control. The WARM-IoT assesses the system's performance, showcasing its efficacy in managing water levels and lowering electricity expenses. By analyzing consumption costs under different activation timings, significant potential for cost savings is observed, with a notable reduction of up to 6% in electricity expenses. Overall, the proposed WARM-IoT offers a comprehensive solution to water wastage and inefficient electricity usage in water management systems.
