DEVELOPMENT OF A SMART WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING IOT TECHNOLOGY

Water is one of the most essential resources for human survival. However, with the growing population and changing climate patterns, water scarcity has become a significant issue in many parts of the world. In this context, the development of a smart water management system using IoT technology has become a necessity. This paper presents an overview of the development of a smart water management system using IoT technology. The proposed smart water management system consists of several components such as sensors, communication devices, and a central server. The sensors are installed at various locations such as water sources, distribution networks, and consumer premises to collect data on water usage, quality, and availability. The collected data is transmitted to the central server through communication devices such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or Lora WAN. The central server processes the data and provides real-time information on water usage, quality, and availability. This information is then used to optimize the water distribution network and reduce wastage.
