 ABSTRACT

• Dams are major important because of generating hydroelectricity and irrigation purposes.

• Manual intervention can increase the probability of error and also results in time lag in

decision making.

• The proposed system involves real-time monitoring of water levels in dams.

• Water levels may vary due to drastic changes of excessive rainfall in the catchment area.
• Mechatronics system is used to open and close the shutters at the heights pre

calculated.

• The system comprises of sensor nodes, smart controller and communication system.

• The system also includes features like SMS alert and SOS send to rescue operation

team in case of adverse weather conditions.

 INTRODUCTION

• Alert system for dams is used to intimate the water levels and to control the dam shutters

based on IoT.

• The internet of things helps people to live and work smarter, as well as gain complete

control over their lives.

• With the growing interest in Internet of Things has become a right choice for the pre-alert

system for monitoring the rise of the water level in dams.

 EXISTING SYSTEM

• Dam gates can be opened using screw type lifting system.

• Currently dams are being monitored and controlled manually.

• Worm or spur gears are provided and are self-locking to hold the gate in position

without the use of motor break.

• This process may cause delay while opening and closing the gates.

• The proposed system implements the automatic dam shutter control system.
 PROPOSED SYSTEM
• The aim of the project is to design and implement calamity inspection and alert
system for dams.

• SMS warnings are sent to emergency response team as the water level increases
due to continuing rainfall.

• As water level increases alert system gives a buzzer to open the gates.

• When the buzzer hits automatic gate control system will open the dam gates
automatically.
 LITERATURE SURVEY
• The study provides an IoT based monitoring and alerting of dam water level by using various past
researches on the disaster and management system.

• It contributes and issues remedy mechanisms which enables the smart warning technique for public
safety.

• The applications of wireless sensor network and IoT to monitoring water level ensures remotely
observation and ensures accuracy.

• We present a novel disaster monitoring and management system for dams that continuously monitors
the water level of the dam.
 TECHNOLOGY
IoT:
• The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the network of physical objects that are embedded with
sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with
other devices and systems over the internet.

• The internet of things helps people live and work smarter, as well as gain complete control over
their lives.

• The proposed system includes features like SMS alerts sent to the emergency team.

• The SMS alert facility helps common people to evacuate to safe Locations.
 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

• TELNET app
HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS:
• Water level sensor
• Arduino controller
• GSM module
• Wi-Fi module
• L293D Driver
• Motor
• LCD
• Buzzer

Water level sensor:
• Water level sensor is used to indicate the levels of water at dams.
• We have used two levels of indications as low level and high level.

Arduino Controller:
• It is a micro controller used to give an alert for the system.
• It can communicate with the applications through Wi-Fi.
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM):
• A GSM module is used to establish communication between a mobile device or a computing
machine and a GSM.
• It requires a SIM card just like mobile phones to activate communication with the network.
Wi- Fi Module:
• It is used to enable the internet connection to various components of embedded systems.

L293D Driver:
• L293D is a basic motor driver integrated chip (IC) that enables us to drive a DC motor in either
direction.

 MODULES LIST

• LEVEL INDICATOR

• ALERT SYSTEM

• AUTOMATIC GATE CONTROL SYSTEM

 MODULES
LEVEL INDICATOR:

• Water level sensor is used as we need to monitor the levels of water at dams.

• It monitors the levels of water as if it is low or high.

ALERT SYSTEM:

• SMS warning system and special SOS signals are sent to emergency response team as the water level
increases due to continuing rainfall.

AUTOMATIC GATE CONTROL SYSTEM:

• Water level sensor detects the levels as if it is in high ,medium or low level.

• When the water levels are in low and medium it displays green light.

• If the water levels rises and indicator detects as high level red light will be displayed along with the alert
buzzer.
 RESULT
• Water levels are at low level it displays a green light as the condition is safe.

• Whenever the water level increases and reaches to the high level an alert is given to the emergency team
through an SMS along with the buzzer sound.
 CONCLUSION
• Dams are one of the major sources for generating hydroelectricity and providing water for

irrigation purpose.

• Thus dams are needed to be well administrated and maintained.

• Mismanagement may leads to calamity.

• Using new technologies like IoT we can make the things in easier and smarter way.

• Pre-Alerting system helps the people in catchment area.
