 The Water Level Indicator employs a simple
mechanism to detect and indicate the water level in
an overhead tank or any other water container. The
sensing is done by using 4 probes which are placed
at 4 different levels on the tank walls(with probe 4 to
probe 1 placed in increasing order of height,
common probe(i.e. supply carrying probe) is placed
at the bottom of the tank). The level 4 represents the
“Tank Full” condition while Level 1 represents the
“Empty Tank” condition.

The electrical resistance of an electrical conductor is
a measure of the difficulty to pass an electric current
through that conductor. The inverse quantity is
electrical conductance, the ease with which an
electric current passes.

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two-lead

semiconductor light source. It is a pn-junction diode,
which emits light when activated. When a suitable
voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are able to
recombine with electron holes within the device,
releasing energy in the form of photons.

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to

amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical
power. It is composed of semiconductor material
with at least three terminals for connection to an
external circuit.

The operation of this project is very simple and can
be understood easily. In our project “Water Level
Indicating System” there are 4 main conditions :
• There is no water available in the source tank.
• Intermediate level i.e. tank is almost half filled.
• There is ample amount of water available in the
source tank i.e. tank is filled to ¾ of its capacity.
• The water is about to overflow

5
• Water level indicator is used in applications like
storage tanks, boilers etc. to indicate level of
water inside.
• Can be used to measure underground storage of
water
• It is used to predict arrival of floods
• It can be used to calculate incoming and
outgoing water in large reservoirs
• Automatic Water level Controller can be used in
Hotels, Factories, Homes Apartments,
Commercial Complexes, Drainage, etc..
• Automatic water level controller will
automatically START the pump as soon as the
water level falls below the predetermined level
and shall SWITCH OFF the pump set as soon as
tank is full.
• Fuel level indicator in vehicles.
• Liquid level indicator in the huge containers in
the companies.

• The system easily indicates when water level is
full in tank with beep.
• Low Maintenance
• Compact elegant design
• Now no need to go on the roof to check water
level.
• Eco-Friendly
• Alarms starts ringing as soon as tank becomes
full
• It ensures no overflows or dry running of pump
there by saves electricity and water
• Avoid seepage of roofs and walls due to
overflowing tanks
• Fully automation, saves man power
• Consume very little electricity, ideal for
continuous operation

• This circuit not only indicates the amount of
water present in the overhead tank but also
gives an alarm when the tank is full. This
worthy device starts ringing as soon as the water
tank becomes full. It helps to check overflow
and wastage of water by warning the customer
when the tank is about to brim. It also provides
automatic control of pumps at a remote
location.
➢ Now no need to go on the roof to look the water
level.
➢ It shows the water level in your room like 1/4
tank, 1/2 tank, 3/4 tank and full tank.
➢ Alarm starts ringing as soon as tank becomes
full.
➢ Suitable for every tank.
