| Abstract |
Water is a vital component in our daily lives, and a precious resource to human race. This paper describes the work carried out on the design of a water management system that can log pressure and pH readings wirelessly and determine if there is a water leak within the pipe system or if the pH levels of the water are safe enough for human consumption. A pipe monitoring system was designed, implemented and fitted with pressure sensors as well as pH sensors. The data received from the sensors was processed by a microcontroller and sent to a computer via a wireless communication module. A graphical user interface was also implemented to display the data received and to trigger an alert if any irregularities (pipe leak/burst or dangerous pH levels) are detected in real time, and leak locations can be determined. |
