Title of Micro-Project
“Water Tank Indicator "
1.1 Aim of project:
To detect water level in Tank .
2.1 Course Outcomes Addressed :
Identify your entrepreneurial traits.
Identify the business opportunities that suits you.
Use the support systems to zero down to your business idea.
Develop comprehensive business plans.
Prepare plans to manage the enterprise effectively.
3.0. Proposed Methodology :
CONDITION 1: Water not available
When the tank is empty there is no conductive path between any of the 8 indicating
probes and the common probe (which is connected to 5v+ supply) so the transistor
base emitter region will not have sufficient biasing voltage hence it remains in cut
off region and the output across its collector will be Vc approximately 4.2v.
As in this case the microcontroller is used in the active low region (which means it
considers 0-2 volts for HIGH and 3-5 volts for LOW) now the output of transistor
which is 4.2v approximately will be considered as LOW by the microcontroller and
hence the default value given by microcontroller to the seven segment display is 0
which indicates as the tank is empty.
CONDITION 2: Intermediate levels
Now as the water starts filling in the tank a conductive path is established between
the sensing probes and the common probe and the corresponding transistors get
sufficient biasing at their base, they starts conducting and now the outputs will be
Vce (i.e. 1.2v-1.8v) approximately which is given to microcontroller.
Here the microcontroller is programmed as a priority encoder which detects the
highest priority input and displays corresponding water level in the seven segment
display.
In this project while the water level reaches the 7th level i.e. last but one level along
with display in seven segment a discontinuous buzzer is activated which warns user
that tank is going to be full soon.
CONDITION 3: Water full
When the tank becomes full, the top level probe gets the conductive path through
water and the corresponding transistor gets into conduction whose output given to
microcontroller with this input microcontroller not only displays the level in seven
segment display but also activates the continuous buzzer by which user can
understand that tank is full and can switch off the motor and save water.

Title of Micro-Project
“Water Tank Indicator"
1.0 Rationale:
The operation of this project is very simple and can be understood easily. In our
project “water level indicator” there are 3 main conditions:
1. There is no water available in the source tank.
2. Intermediate level i.e. either of 3rd to 7th level.
3. There is ample amount of water available in the source tank.
So let us discuss more about these 3 conditions
2.1 Aim of project:
To detect water level in Tank .
3.1 Course Outcomes Achieved :
Identify your entrepreneurial traits.
Identify the business opportunities that suits you.
Use the support systems to zero down to your business idea.
Develop comprehensive business plans.
Prepare plans to manage the enterprise effectively.
4.0 Applications :
The uses of a water level indicator include the following applications:
Can be used in water tanks to control water levels
Automatically turn ON/OFF pumps
Can be used in factories, commercial complexes, apartments, home,
Fuel tank level gauging
Oil tank level control
High & low-level alarms
Pool water level control
Life station switches
Leachate level control
Cooling tower water level control
Sewage pump level control
Remote monitoring liquid
Water level control
Pump controller
Stream level monitoring
Sump pump
Tsunami warning and sea level monitoring
Process batch control & monitoring
Irrigation control
5.0 Actual procedure follow:
Step 1: With wires connect Arduino pin TX to RX pin in the GSM module.
Step 2: Connect the Arduino pin RX to TX pin GSM module
Step 3: Connect the Arduino pin GND to GND pin GSM module Do not try to
power the GSM module from Arduino’s 5V output pin to 5V input of GSM
module.
Step 4: The Real Time Clock (RTC) module will track the time of arrival of water
and termination of water supply. For this project a board will be incorporated
for the students to put the components together there be able to see how the
wires are connected and the relationship between the Arduino and the circuits.

Project Report
Introduction
The Water Level Indicator employs a simple mechanism to detect and indicate the
water level in an overhead tank or any other water container.
The sensing is done by using a set of nine probes which are placed at nine different
levels on the tank walls (with probe 9 to probe 1 placed in increasing order of
height, common probe (i.e. a supply carrying probe) is placed at the base of the
tank). The level 8 represents the “tank full” condition while level 0 represents the
“tank empty” condition.
When the water-level is below the minimum detectable level (MDL), the seven
segment display is arranged to show the digit 0, indicating that the tank is empty,
when the water reaches level1 (but is below level2) the connection between the
probes gets completed (through the conducting medium – water) and the base
voltage of transistor increases.
Resources
- Water Tank Indicator can be made easily using home-made resources. It can be
made with simple things. Some of resources needed for making water
dispenser are :
LED,
Speaker,
Wire,
Cardboard,
Power Supply,
Detect water sensor
1. Advantages of this Home-made Water dispenser
Easy installation.
2. Low maintenance.
3. Compact elegant design.
4. The Automatic water level controller ensures no overflows or dry running of
pump there by saves electricity and water.
5. Avoid seepage of roofs and walls due to overflowing tanks.
6. Fully automatic, saves man power.
7. Consume very little energy, ideal for continuous operation.
8. Automatic water level controller provides you the flexibility to decide for
yourself the water levels for operations of pump set.
9. Shows clear indication of water levels in the overhead tank.
Uses of Water Dispenser Machine
Automatic Water level Controller can be used in Hotels, Factories, Homes
Apartments, Commercial Complexes, Drainage, etc., It can be fixed for single
phase motor, Single Phase Submersibles, Three Phase motors. (For 3Æ and
Single Phase Submersible Starter is necessary) and open well, Bore well and
Sump. We can control two motor and two sumps and two overhead tanks by
single unit.
Automatic water level controller will automatically START the pump set as
soon as the water level falls below the predetermined level (usually 1/2 tank)
and shall SWITCH OFF the pump set as soon as tank is full.
Fuel level indicator in vehicles.
Liquid level indicator in the huge containers in the companies.
9.0 Conclusion:
This project is the solution to help the user to indicate water level in reservoir or into the
water tank that indicated different levels in an over head tank.
Finally, the project has been successfully implemented & tested. I am proud to express
my delight as the project I embarked upon is successfully finished in such a short span.
The project gave us more confidence that we will be able to put in practice, whatever the
theoretical knowledge we gained during the course of study till now.
