AbstractThis work is based on the assumption that a resistivity meter can effectively monitor water saturation in earth levees and can be used as a warning system when saturation exceeds the expected seasonal maxima. We performed time-lapse ERT measurements to assess the capability of this method to detect areas where seepage is critical. These measurements were also very useful to design a prototype monitoring system with remarkable savings by customizing the specifications according to field observations. The prototype consists of a remotely controlled low-power resistivity meter with a spread of 48 stainless steel 20 × 20 cm plate electrodes buried at half-meter depth. We deployed the newly-designed permanent monitoring system on a critical levee segment. A weather station and an ultrasonic water level sensor were also installed in order to analyse the correlation of resistivity with temperature, rainfalls and water level seasonal variations.The preliminary analysis of the monitoring data shows that the resistivity maps follow a very reasonable trend related with the saturation/drying cycle of the levee caused by the seasonal variations of the water level in the irrigation channel. Sharp water level changes cause delayed and smooth resistivity variations. Rainfalls and, to a lesser extent, temperature seem to have an influence on the collected data but effects are apparently negligible beyond 1 m depth. The system is currently operating and results are continuously monitored.

Plants play a vital role in maintaining the ecological cycle, and thus, to maintain the plant's proper growth and health, adequate monitoring is required. Hence, the aim of the chapter is to create a smart plant monitoring system using automation and internet of things (IOT) technology. This topic highlights various features such as smart decision making based on soil moisture real-time data. For this purpose, sensors like soil moisture sensor, DHT11 sensor, level sensor, etc. are used. The soil moisture sensor measures the level of moisture (i.e., water content of different plants). The signal will be sent to Arduino board when the moisture level drops below the marginal value, which triggers the pumping of water into the plant by the pump. When the moisture level reaches absolute value, the pump is halted. The other condition for this process is level sensor. Level sensor senses the water level in the tank and sends the information of water level value to Arduino board and Arduino board to cloud. The whole data about the plant monitoring will be sent to the cloud server.

This virtual instrumentation system based on Arduino and LabVIEW aims to detect the water level using a water level sensor. The water level sensor used to measure the water level is the Funduino type. This sensor and the buzzer module are connected to the Arduino Uno to transmit data to LabVIEW. When the water has reached a certain height, this sensor will detect the water level. When the water has reached the set point, this sensor will sound a buzzer as a sign that the water is full. Based on the experimental results, it is found that the tension value affects the volume of the experiment site. Where the greater the volume used will produce a large voltage, and vice versa. Furthermore, the graph results obtained that are still away from the linearity of a regression function with a value of y = 0.0079x + 1.8561 and R² = 0.4298.

An embedded based power plant system is used for checking the environmental condition based on different sensor. The microcontroller is fixed inside the boiler which is a turbine, to monitor the status and the information is passed through GSM. In this project we proposed the main water tank supplies number of boilers. The water level is controlled by a water level sensor, each evaporator has two channels, one is delta other one is outlet and the channels' valves are controlled by some temperature sensors composed in each package. From the GSM modem, the user will get the present status of the boiler level by sending a radiator ID number as message. When the temperature inside the boiler exceed the threshold value it will indicate as a warning to the concerned authority person to take the immediate step.

Irrigation door is a big issue for farmers. The factor that became a hot issue at the irrigation gate was the irresponsible attitude of the irrigation staff regarding the schedule of opening/closing the irrigation door so that it caused the rice fields to becoming dry or submerged. In this research, an automatic prototype system for irrigation system will be designed based on integrating several sensors, including water level sensors, soil moisture sensors, acidity sensors. This sensor output will be displayed on Android-based applications. The integration of communication between devices (Arduino Nano, Arduino Wemos and sensors supporting the irrigation system) is the working principle of this prototype. This device will control via an Android-based application to turn on / off the water pump, to open/close the irrigation door, check soil moisture, soil acidity in real time. The pump will automatically turn on based on the water level. This condition will be active if the water level is below 3cm above ground level. The output value will be displayed on the Android-based application screen and LCD screen. Based on the results of testing and analysis of the prototype that has been done in this research, the irrigation door will open automatically when the soil is dry. This condition occurs if the water level is less than 3 cm. The calibrated Output value, including acidity sensor, soil moisture sensor and water level sensor, will be sent to the server every 5 seconds and forwarded to an Android-based application as an output display.

During the rainy season, several regions in Indonesia experienced floods even to the capital of Indonesia also flooded. Some of the causes are the high intensity of continuous rain, clogged or non-smooth drainage, high tides to accommodate the flow of water from rivers, other causes such as forest destruction, shallow and full of garbage and other causes. Every flood disaster comes, often harming the residents who experience it. The late anticipation from the community and the absence of an early warning system or information that indicates that there will be a flood so that the community is not prepared to face floods that cause a lot of losses. Therefore it is necessary to have a detection system to provide early warning if floods will occur, this is very important to prevent material losses from flooded residents. From this problem the researchers designed an internet-based flood detection System of Things (IoT). This tool can later be controlled via a smartphone remotely and can send messages Telegram messenger to citizens if the detector detects a flood will occur.Keywords: Flooding, Smartphone, Telegram messenger, Internet of Thing (IoT).

The drinking water is one of the main problems affecting many countries now, in the same way we are not actually using the rain water properly. The misuse of water leads no many problems like uncontrolled water flow etc. Last year 2018 Kerala undergrown a deep flood because of huge rain due to that all the dams in Kerala opened simultaneously. It creates a huge flood in Kerala. Around 370 peoples died in Kerala due to this flood. The main reason is people are not aware of dam opening so the peoples near to the river all are washed off. Most of the dams are not having a digital sensing for water level. All the dams are having only scale measurement so failed to give information about damn opening. Water level monitoring system solves this problem It will give right information about water level in reservoir and it will avoid wastage water in tank.
