As the population keeps growing, water source must be distributed efficiently. The objective is to design an IoT based system which supports to monitor and control the water distribution to each home without any human intervention at the first level of initiation. In addition, the system will also help us to identify the leakage in the pipeduct so as to carry out immediate rescue against to the water leakage along the pipeduct. Later on, this idea will be upgraded by incorporating with necessary features for the common usage. The system consists of sensor nodes to note the quantity of water in every house by flow sensors at each instant and sends the data to the cloud using Wireless communication. The information collected could be known by users on the integrated website using their wi-fi connected gadgets slike mobilephones.The device also controls the automatic functioning of water supply by turning it off when the water rises above the high level than allocated to the appropriate huse which was initially fixed by government boards.

Pump is mechanical device to increase the pressure energy of a fluid. Generaly pumps are used to lift the water from low level to high level. These are of two types,namely reciprocating pumps and centrifugal pumps. On centrifugal pumps the centrifugal force or variation of pressure due to rotation is responsible for their operation or working. The program of community services as implementation of sciences and technology intended to introduced and give skill training about water supply units to the community at Desa Sempa jaya ,Kabupaten Deli-Karo. In this area the people have a problem about availibity of water for  agricultute, when mountain Sinabung gets eruption the leave of plantation are covered with dust and damaged to citrus plants,in dry season orange plants lack of water even though the success of the harvest is very dependent on water. The program was carried out by designing, fabricating and erecting the unit of water supply,consist of deepwell pump,piping system, valve,tee,bent,tower tank and panel control.

High level water tank is a commonly used facility to satisfy water demand for people living in high building, which is also the so-called secondary water supply system (SWSS) in China. Due to lack of maintenance, water quality problem has been frequently reported in the SWSS. In the last few decades, anti-negative pressure facility (ANPF) has emerged as a revolutionary approach for solving the pollution in the SWSS. ANPF makes good use of the municipal pipeline pressure, which is the improvement of traditional water supply. However, most of recent research activities mainly focus on the influence of part of water distribution system (WDS). In this paper, the software of EPANET has been applied in the SWSS calculation and simulation. Besides that, the SWSS with ANPF simulation method is proposed to evaluate the effect of other all nodes pressure in the WDS using hydraulic model. As the cases study, the paper analyzed two WDSs with ANPF. After simulation of the SWSS, the result of WDS, which is smaller, indicates that 6 out of the 9 nodes are affected with ANPF and that of WDS, which is larger, demonstrates that 37 out of the 41 nodes are affected and the affected nodes are focused on the confluent of pipes, especially around the ANPF.

In recent years, wireless measurement and control units have become more popular for monitoring water distribution systems in the drinking water supply. Electric power supply for a higher number of devices through fixed connections to the public electrical grid is technically complex and requires large investments. Powering monitoring devices, which are installed in areas where electrical power supply is lacking, is difficult and considerably increases personnel and operational costs due to frequent battery changes. In such cases, harvesting energy from the water distribution systems or the environment would be an attractive option. In this work, an energy-self-sufficient system has been developed to solve these problems. The system transforms, by use of an energy harvester, the kinetic and hydraulic energy of water flow in a pipeline to electrical energy, stores this energy, and uses it via a micro-controller unit for measurements and wireless data transmission to a central server.

The Water is the most valuable because it is a basic need of all humans, in these days water supply department are facing problem because of less amount of water due to less rainfall, lowering of ground water in spite of all these problems water leakage from pipelines while supplying and also no monitoring of water distribution and controlling. With increment in population, neighborhoods have expanded as a result of this reason water has turned into a major issue which influences in distribution, conservation, consumption and also the quality so, to overcome all these problems and create system economical there’s want of  correct observance and dominant system. In this paper, we are proposing a system which can detect the leakages, monitoring and controlling if water supply in pipelines. Sensors places in the tank which continuously informs the water level of water in the tank. The motor functioning will be automatically turn on and when tank is about to fill up it will cut off.

The condition of the water supply and the actual functioning of the distribution network in Durres area are inadequate to sustain demand at an acceptable level of service for all the billing zones.The distribution network of Durres city is fed at one point (Xhafzotaj junction) for 300-350 l/s with an elevation of about 50 m asl. The planned new transmission line has a diameter of 700 mm and will bring extra 630 l/s.The water distribution systems are one of the vital urban infrastructures and their operationwith a high level of service are of high importance.Many phenomena in water supply systems such as leakage, breakage of pipes etc. are afunction of pressure. When pressure dependency of demand is considered in the hydraulicanalysis, the results thereof shall be consistent with reality.This article presents the new design methodology for a good optimization of the distribution network. The distribution network has been reconstructed as a ring network. It is planned to build 6 DMAas (District Metered Area) to control the flow, pressure and consumption in DMA to build the Water Balance.

Yazidang Reservoir is a pumped-storage reservoir for water supply in Ningdong Chemical Industry Base of Ningxia, China. It plays an important role as a source of drinking and industrial water supply. Analysis of the water quality from March 2013 to May 2014, the results show that: For organic descriptors, value of CODCr, CODMn and DO can satisfy with class III, but some values of BOD5 exceed the standard limitation. For index of nutrients, some values of TP exceed the standard, and TN greatly exceed the standard limitation. Using potential eutrophication to evaluate the reservoir water quality, the results show that Yazidang Reservoir is on a very high level of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrition, reach to level of eutrophy-extremely eutrophy. Considering the current situation of water quality in Yazidang Reservoir, some countermeasures should be carried out for pollution prevention and control of water quality, such as strengthening management, enhancing water quality monitoring and water quality evaluation, simulation, eutrophication control and estimation environmental capacity of reservoir.

With increasing population, the need for research ideas on the field of reducing wastage of water can save a big amount of water, money, time, and energy. Water leakage (WL) is an essential problem in the field of water supply field. This research is focused on real water loss in the water distribution system located in Ethiopia. Top-down and bursts and background estimates (BABE) methodology is performed to assess the data and the calibration process of the WL variables. The top-down method assists to quantify the water loss by the record and observation throughout the distribution network. In addition, the BABE approach gives a specific water leakage and burst information. The geometrical mean method is used to forecast the population up to 2023 along with their fiscal value by the uniform tariff method. With respect to the revenue lost, 42575 Br and 42664 Br or in 1562$ and 1566$ were lost in 2017 and 2018, respectively. The next five-year population was forecasted to estimate the possible amount of water to be saved, which was about 549627 m3 and revenue 65,111$ to make the system more efficient. The results suggested that the majority of losses were due to several components of the distribution system including pipe-joint failure, relatively older age pipes, poor repairing and maintenance of water taps, pipe joints and shower taps, negligence of the consumer and unreliable water supply. As per the research findings, recommendations were proposed on minimizing water leakage.
