Storage of water is common to all human for domestic and industrial utilization. Today, water tanks are the conventional and a major component in water storage systems as they have the capacity to hold large volume of water over a long period of time. They come in different shapes and sizes. However inadequate monitoring of water level in this storage facility may lead to either shortage of water supply when needed or its wastage during lifting process. Hence, there is need for proper monitoring of water level in a storage facility. This need motivates this work, which is the development of water level monitoring system that based on sonar technology. Materials employed in the development include ultrasonic sensor module, ATmega-328P microcontroller, 16MHz crystal oscillator, 12V dc water pump among others. The developed system monitors the water level and activates the pump as appropriate based on the input the ultrasonic sensor gives to the microcontroller which occupies the centre of the system. The developed system has potential of mitigating the attendant problems that usually arise from wastage or shortage of water supply with respect to water storage facility. Keywords—SONAR, water storage, monitoring system

Floodgate monitoring is related to water level monitoring. Problems that occur Weir information about the water level, water runoff, level, status of floodgates and recap results that can be seen on the web in real-time are not yet available, so monitoring the floodgates is difficult, less effective and maximum. Weir officials must go back and forth from the weir to the guard post and then to the control to move the floodgates. The purpose of the design of a sluice monitoring system is based on the website. Assist officers in monitoring floodgates to make it more effective and maximal. Using Wemos D1 R1 Microcontroller, Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04 to read water level, DC Motor moves the floodgates. LCD displays runoff and level. Siren as a danger warning. The trial results show that the system that has been made runs well. The system is able to open the floodgates through control of the web and runs automatically. Water runoff and level can be displayed on the LCD. Weir information about water levels, water runoff, levels, sluice status, and recap results can be viewed on the web in real time.

One of the Precious and important resource in the earth maybe water. Now a days people need everything happen smarter other than olden days techniques used. In this paper Internet of Things (IOT) Based on the concept that to define energy conservation in tank level water monitoring system(sense and monitor). The Main objective is to have a sensor which detects the level of water and it should notify the user about the water level which is currently available in the tank. The Ultrasonic Sensor is placed at the top of the tank in which we will measure the level of water and the if the distance of the water from the sensor gets increased, it means that the water in the tank gets low and finally after reaching to an extent the system should notify a warning message to the user. The Major requirement would be Ultrasonic sensor which senses level of water (in distance)from the top of the tank to the bottom of the tank. The sensor is connected to the system using the Wi-Fi of NODE MCU (ESP8266) .The Blynk library is installed and connected in the arduino. The Blynk application is used to get the values and the notification send to the mobile for the user purpose. The user can get notified that the tank is empty and can take further steps to fill the water in the tank.

Monitoring the level of water in dams is necessary to ensure optimal operation and safety. Water level monitoring is normally done manually by a full-time operator. This results mostly in a waste of water due to the inability of the operator to accurately determine the quantity of water to release from the dam gate. The aim of this paper is to present the design of a system to automatically open and close dam gates based on the level of water in the dam. The system is based on a low-cost microcontroller and an ultrasonic sensor to read water level in the dam. SMS messages are sent to nearby residents to warn them of the opening of the dam gate. An alarm is also sounds before the eventual opening of the dam gate.

Monitoring water levels of lakes, streams, rivers and other water basins is of essential importance and is a popular measurement for a number of different industries and organisations. Remote water level monitoring helps to provide an early warning feature by sending advance alerts when the water level is increased (reaches a certain threshold). The purpose of this report is to present an affordable solution for measuring water levels in water sources using IoT and LPWAN. The assembled system enables recording of water level fluctuations in real time and storing the collected data on a remote database through LoRaWAN for further processing and analysis.

In this paper, a novel self-optimizing water level monitoring methodology is proposed for smart city applications. Considering system maintenance, the efficiency of power consumption and accuracy will be important for Internet of Things (IoT) devices and systems. A multi-step measurement mechanism and power self-charging process are proposed in this study for improving the efficiency of a device for water level monitoring applications. The proposed methodology improved accuracy by 0.16–0.39% by moving the sensor to estimate the distance relative to different locations. Additional power is generated by executing a multi-step measurement while the power self-optimizing process used dynamically adjusts the settings to balance the current of charging and discharging. The battery level can efficiently go over 50% in a stable charging simulation. These methodologies were successfully implemented using an embedded control device, an ultrasonic sensor module, a LORA transmission module, and a stepper motor. According to the experimental results, the proposed multi-step methodology has the benefits of high accuracy and efficient power consumption for water level monitoring applications.
