Abstract

The water supply shortage has increased in recent years due to overpopulation, climate change and obsolete water facilities, where deteriorated pipes cause most of the water leaks. The problem is not the size of the leak, but the time it takes to detect it. This paper presents the implementation of a system installed in the hydraulic facilities of a residence, to detect water leaks. The system consists of a water sensor installed by a water reservoir of interest, a microprocessor to interpret the data and evaluate. The design of a water level sensor device that can detect and control the level of water in a certain water tank, the system firstly senses the amount of water available in the tank by the level detector part and then adjusts the state of the water pump in accordance to the water level information. There has been wastage of water daily through the pipeline leakages due to its full water were never arrived to the taps. The aims of our proposed work are to develop a real-time prototype pipeline leakage alert system whether it is a water leak or not, an SMS alert message, and an electrical actuator to shut off the main water supply to avoid leakage.
