Implementation of sequential design based water level monitoring and controlling system

Abstract

In currently decades, water usage either for domestic or commercial purposes is facing critical conditions which negatively affects the sustainability of our environment. From this point of view, reducing water consumptions will participate in the solution of water saving. Monitoring and controlling the tank water level are important functions which effect and work on reduction of water consumption. Many studies in literature focus on proposing a high performance water level monitoring and controlling systems based on either computerized units or microcontroller units. However these systems are characterized by complexity and high cost. In this paper, a highly flexible implemented electronic system is introduced based on sequential design by using general purpose discrete components. The proposed system present simple design of water level sensing stage, in addition, this paper showing full design, simulation, and implementation steps of an automation system which is able to control switching the state of the water pump in accordance to the current level of water in the tank.

Double Water Pump Prototype using Three Phase Induction Motor for Flood Drain

“…Several efforts to minimize the effects of flooding have been carried out to reduce losses, including: rearranging river basins in an integrated manner, not constructing buildings on riverbanks, constructing infiltration wells, normalizing rivers and installing pumps and sluices in flood-prone areas (Fathaya et al, 2020) (Apriadi & Saggaf, 2021) (Aji Laksana & Pratiwi, 2020). To help anticipate the arrival of floods is to build an early arrival warning system floods and water levels through short message technology so that residents can immediately prepare themselves in the event of a flood disaster (Ferdiansyah et al, 2020) (Attia et al, 2019) (Wan Hassan et al, 2019) (Abana et al, 2019). Sensors or detecting the presence of overflowing water play a very important role in building early warning equipment for flood arrivals.…”
