AUTOMATED WATER HEAD CONTROLLER FOR DOMESTIC APPLICATION

Santosh K. Verma

Abstract: In environmental terms, water is the lifeblood of the planet, still a huge amount of water is being wasted everyday because of overflow of water tanks installed in our houses. Though there are technologies to prevent this, but they fail to satisfy economical or reliability criteria because of which people don’t want to use them. Here we have designed a cost effective, reliable system, which is easy to install and requires almost zero maintenance. In system design we have used ATmega8 (8-bit CPU) microcontroller manufactured by Atmel corporation and ultrasonic sensor module (HC-SR04) for contactless measurement of water level.
