Abstract

Water is essential for life, fundamental resource for various sectors such as agriculture, industrial. Water plays a vital role in maintaining ecosystems and maintaining climate. As population grows and increase in urbanisation the sustainable management of water resources becomes difficult. Rainwater plays a major role in sustaining water bodies, it replenishes groundwater level and reduces the reliance on treated water. Rainwater harvesting is the process of accumulating, storing and reusing the rainwater for day to day activities as well as increasing the ground water levels. Water harvesting systems are used as a tool to increase groundwater level however, the lack of modernisation in these systems make it difficult to monitor and avoid unnecessary losses. Integration of Arduino microcontroller and sensors like temperature sensor, ultrasonic sensor, water float sensor resolves the issue of avoiding losses. While monitoring is done with the help of IoT technology, IoT allows smart devices to exchange data over a medium using internet. In this context a smart rainwater harvesting system using IoT is proposed in this paper. System includes a creative solution to avoid water runoff and to make monitoring simple over a website, which can be accessed by any smart device with internet connectivity. As a result, the proposed system can be used as an application in households and industries.
