Application of Open Source Technologies to the Integrated Water Management Resources

This article has as main objective the implementation an Integrated Management of Water Resources at Unochapec� University in Brazil (IMWR/ UNOCHAPEC�). We propose an open-source automation for the process of level control of the reservoirs of the institution using web development technologies and Internet of Things (IoT). The system should perform an analysis of the water consumed in the institution, providing reports regarding the times of greatest consumption, water quality and detecting possible faults in the distribution system, such as leaks or failure to supply. The proposed system will monitor in real-time a set of sensors that will collect data via remote APIs for each reservoir and make them available for visualization and inspection by a web-based interface. The system contains 10 reservoirs in total and in the case of a failure it should report the event into the web-based interface. In fact, the system will not control the supply, but rather, monitor the quality of the water consumed in the institution and record the obtained data into a database.
