Research Abstract

The topic of water management and distribution is addressed in this study with an IoTs (Internet of Things)-based solution. In typical systems, water distribution and consumption are not seen instantaneously, which slows the process of finding leaks desirable. An actual prototype that abstracts the Water Distribution Network (WDN) is created. To measure the desired physical quantities, namely, water flow rates, pH, and turbidity, sensors are mounted on the WDN. Hence, a network is installed to transmit the signal data to the Firebase platform. In this regard, a comprehensive IoT testbed design is developed to connect all the IoT devices. To grasp the leakage situation and control the water quality, actuators are fitted on the piping system in specified locations to cover the entire pipe network. Leakage and low water quality scenarios are conducted to test the capability of the developed prototype. The results show that …
