WATER SCHEDULING FOR MUNICIPALITIES USING RTC

ABSTRACT:

The day to day developments happening in the field of industrial electronics

make us think of new and yet more & more useful applications. Every new idea is
now almost to the practical limitations are achieved. This is possible because of the
developments happening in the field of electronic devices and peripheral devices.
The drinking water normally demands and also distribution of drinking
water is problem. The distribution of water supply is more difficulty in
Municipalities. The main aim of this project is to design microcontroller based
water pump controlling system using LEVEL sensor and time period. The purpose
of the project is to develop a system which saving the energy and auto control
system.
In every area water will distributed through manual controlling with time
period checking. So here if the water level is low in well, in these conditions motor
working then it would be definitely damaged. So protect the motor and save the
power wasting by water pump.
In this project water level sensor and RTC are connecting to the
microcontroller. According to the user setting time only, water level checks and in
this user time period and water level in well high then only PUMP will serve the
water otherwise it will turned off.

 BLOCK DESCRIPTION

Here in our project we are using PIC 16F877A microcontroller due it vast
uses in various application and has vast advantage in the use of the power
electronic system. In our project the PIC controller is interfaced with the Lever
Sensor and a RTC IC as input devices. The Lever Sensor are used for getting the
level of the water in the water tank and the RTC is used for getting the Time/Day
24x7 which has a inbuilt oscillator which does not need any external supply to run.
The user can program the controller for turn ON the pump at a specified time or
time intervals. The Driver is interface which the pump for pumping the water to the
tank if the level sensor senses the water level is low. The LCD is used for get the
information and status of the controller processes.
ADVANTAGES
• Cost less
• Easy to interface
• Implementation is easy

APPLICATIONS:
 Used in street agriculture applications.
 Used in Domestic applications.
