The main objective of this Research project is to build such a prototype system which can control and monitor the flow of water from water reservoir. This new system uses microcontroller as a central part to sense the water through a NAND gate Integrated Circuit and inform the microcontroller. On the basis of gathered results the controller will open the solenoid valve and also will send the information to the main unit. On the main unit side this information will be displayed on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). Where for real time monitoring a wireless camera is used which sends the real time video to the receiver side through RF (Radio Frequency) module.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel

The introduction provides context for the project by highlighting the challenges of water flow control in reservoirs and the need for a more automated system. The project's objective is to develop a system that can automatically control the water level in a reservoir and provide real-time monitoring capabilities. The system utilizes solenoid valves to control water flow, with different levels of water triggering the opening of specific valves. This approach allows for controlled water release based on the reservoir's water level. The system also incorporates a wireless camera for visual monitoring and RF modules for data transmission to a main unit, where information is displayed on an LCD screen.

The physical modeling and hardware implementation process section details the design and implementation of the system. The block diagram provides a simplified representation of the system's components and their interactions. The circuit diagram illustrates the connections between all components, including the microcontroller, solenoid valves, relays, RF modules, and camera. The hardware implementation section describes the physical construction of the system, highlighting the key components and their interconnections.
