Efficient water management is crucial for ensuring sustainable resource utilization and reducing water losses in both industrial and domestic applications. This study presents the design and implementation of a smart water monitoring system based on an ultrasonic flow meter, which enables accurate, real-time measurement of water flow without physical contact with the medium. The proposed system integrates ultrasonic sensors with a microcontroller-based data acquisition unit and wireless communication to transmit flow rate, volume, and consumption data to a cloud-based monitoring platform. The system was tested in various flow conditions to evaluate accuracy, stability, and energy efficiency. Experimental results demonstrate that the ultrasonic flow meter achieved a measurement accuracy of ±1% compared to a reference turbine flow meter, while maintaining minimal power consumption. Furthermore, the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities allows remote monitoring, anomaly detection, and data logging for long-term analysis. The results indicate that this ultrasonic-based monitoring system provides a reliable and non-invasive solution for smart water management, offering potential applications in household metering, agricultural irrigation, and industrial fluid monitoring.
