Abstract:

Worldwide, about one out of two people depend on groundwater resources to satisfy their drinking water needs. While groundwater is typically of a higher quality than surface water, pollution and geologic conditions may necessitate treating groundwater to meet safe water quality criteria. Groundwater is present under the earth in soil spores or the fractures of rocks. The device that we are building will help us to know about the level of groundwater through various software and by adding different processes. Many devices have been made, but this one will be a successful and efficient device for everyone. Those who are facing problems with such resources can know information about their groundwater level and act accordingly. As the process is based on steps, we will explain it in terms you can readily grasp. We utilized a hydraulic pressure sensor (a water-detection sensor) in the first phase, which will link to an electronic device called an Arduino kit (or another device such as a Nano-device), a 16-bit 12C ADC (Analog to Digital Converter), and a Max 485 module. An extra HC 12 (half-duplex wireless serial communication) module will be connected to a laptop. Power will be provided directly or through batteries. The reading from the sensor is saved on a hard disc or USB flash. On our laptop, we will obtain readings continuously. Our sensor will function and provide a reading in this manner. The value you see in the software will increase depending on the length of the wire you dip the sensor in. The wire's length is completely adjustable.
