 INTRODUCTION

• Drainage system plays a very important role in big cities where the
population is very large.
• In most of the cities the drainage management system is monitored
manually which is incompetent and needs a lot of persons who are only
able to record limited report with inefficient accuracy, also it becomes
inconvenient for the government persons to detect the accurate location
of the manhole which is facing issues such as blockage arising due to
unwanted waste materials, abrupt increase in the level of water as well as
various toxic gases such as methane, carbon monoxide, etc if the proper
cleaning actions are not taken time to time and these gases are harmful
and cause severe problems to human health if inhaled in large quantities.

 Contd..,
• Most of the drainage systems are not computerized due to which it is
hard to know if the blockage is occurring in particular location and also
the early alerts of the blockages are not received, hence detection of the
blockage and its repair becomes time-consuming.
• The system also explains various functions used for the purpose of
monitoring of the underground drainage system, monitoring the water
level, rate of flow of water as well as the content of the toxic gases.
• If there is a blockage in the drainage system and sewage starts
overflowing through it then it can be detected by the sensor system which
is interfaced to the microcontroller and this information is sent to the
respective authority via GSM (Global System for Mobile).

 OBJECTIVES

• Cleaner cities and intelligent management of drainage in the city.

• Detection of drainage water level and blockages in the drainage.
• Checking water flow rate continuously, as well as sending automatic mail,
display on the monitor if the water level is outside of an expected normal
range.
• The main objective is to obtain an effective low-cost and flexible solution
for condition monitoring and infrastructure management in the city.
• Sensing the temperature and leakage of gas and updating it.

 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION

• The Problems arises in drainage lines are blockage due to waste

material, sudden increase in the water level as well as various harmful
gases can be produces if the proper cleaning actions are not taken time to
time.
• Today’s drainage system is not computerized due to which it is hard to
know if blockage is occurring in particular location.
• Also sometimes due the waste in those drainage lines can produce
various gases like methane (CH4 ), carbon monoxide (CO), etc which are
harmful.

 EXISTING SYSTEM

• Solutions exploiting radio frequency and mechanical vibrations are not

suitable for underground environments such as the proposed scenario.
Nevertheless, this kind of source is often exploited to power low
consumption systems such as sensor nodes. Regarding the use of solar
power it is necessary that the outer cover of manhole is directly exposed
to the sunlight.
• Moreover, if Arduino micro-controller is used as the core of the sensor
node, a plug-and-play solar charger shield is commercially available.
Multiple hybrid batteries are also available which can power up the node
for several months.

 PROPOSED SYSTEM

• In the proposed method, development of arduino based drainage and

manhole monitoring system is designed.
• This system monitors atmospheric temperature, release of toxic gases,
blockages, overflow in drains and manhole lid position. Maximum levels
are set and sensors keep monitoring the changing conditions.
• As the levels reach a maximum set point the sensors detect and send the
signal to controller, where it commands the IoT network to generate alerts
to the municipal corporation.
