this is about via the internet by the whole of the corroborate of raspberry pi and arduino to control the affairs of the disbursement of mineral

deposit distributors is portrayed by web headquarters solutions. This freebie includes brought pressure to bear up on authority, resources ministry
and leakage management aspects of raw material monitoring course of action and it besides bring to a meet to prognosticate the outlay of the
water in age for its users using progress data analytics.
