Abstract

This project aims to increase water use efficiency and reduce human intervention in water flow control. An automated system was developed using an ultrasonic sensor to measure water level, a YF-S201 (Hall effect) flow sensor to record flow rate, and an encapsulated temperature sensor to monitor liquid conditions. The system was implemented with Arduino and PIC, leveraging their programmability and compatibility with various sensors. Data are displayed on a 16×2 LCD, providing clear, real-time visualization of water level, flow, and temperature. The design eliminates the need for manual inspections, detects potential leaks or irregularities, and promotes responsible water use. Its low cost and easy installation make it adaptable to households, small industries, or irrigation systems.
