AUTOMATIC WATER FLOW REGULATOR

ABSTRACT Water scarcity is one of the biggestproblem in major citifies of India today, which if unaddressed, may further get deteriorated.In this backdrop, there is a compelling need to judiciously use the water particularly in the urban setting, where a significant wastage of water is happening through either over use or leakages of water. Theabove problem can be effectively addressed by bringing inappropriate technological innovation.Accordingly, in this paper, we have discussed about a technological solution namely“Automatic Water Flow Regulator” which can control the water flow including its leakage and over use by using flow sensor implemented on the basis of IOT. The IOT based circuit has been designed to enable the flow detector to function as a threshold detector so that it works as an on/Off switch for solenoid valve based on time and volumetric measurement. The device conceptualized is simpler to use and is of low cost which can be easily affordedby thecommon people. Key Words: Flow Sensor, Solenoid Valve, Relay Switch, Arduino Microcontroller, Raspberry Pi.
