 ABSTRACT

 The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) identified rainwater harvesting systems as an
alternative water technology. This technology overview is intended to provide agencies with key
information to deploy rainwater harvesting systems.
 This project presents a model that does smart rainwater harvesting using IoT. The model consists of a
structure with segregation that separates the two tanks
 A rainfall detection sensor is mounted on the top of the structure to detect whether it’s raining or not
 A pH sensor then determines the pH value of the rainwater and if the pH of the water is greater than 5
then the pump motor1 inside the main tank transfers the water to the tank A.
 If the pH of the water is less than 5 the pumpmotor 2 inside the main tank transfers the water to the
tank b. The segregation is done so as to separate portable water
 The water level sensor inside the tank A transfers the data in a timely manner to the cloud using IOT
technology.
 GPS is implemented to track the location of the main tank.

 PH SENSOR

• It measures the voltage produced by the solution whose acidity we want to

find out and compares it with the voltage of a known solution and uses the
difference in voltage between them to deduce the difference in pH.

• In our project pH sensor is responsible for segregating the rain water on the
basis of pH.

 PUMP MOTOR

• This is lightweight, small size, high efficiency,

low consumption and low noise water pump. It
has been used widely, in household include
cooking, cleaning, bathing, space heating and
water flowers, etc.
• This motor is small, compact and light.
• Great for building science projects, fire-
extinguishers, fire fighting robots, fountains,
waterfalls, plant watering systems etc.
• Controlled fountain water flow.
• Controlled Garden watering systems.
• Hydroponic Systems.
• Fresh water intake or exhaust systems for fish
aquqriums.
 RAIN SENSOR

• Water  level sensors are used to detect the level of water that

can flow.

• Such measurements can be used to determine the amount of

the flow of water in open channels.
• One electrode wire is with 9v Battery is placed at the bottom
of tank. Next wires are placed step by step above the bottom
probe.
• When the water comes in contact with the electrode tip, A
conductive path is established between the sense electrode
and the tank wall/reference electrode, which in turn makes
the transistors conduct to glow LED and indicate the level of
water.

The Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been employed in harvesting over a long
period of time, alongside other advanced computing technologies.
 Present day requirements of the farmers have not been met by modern technology. Through this paper we
can help farmers to manage their water resources effectively and also to prevent damage to the crop.
