Abstract

Water is the main source that necessary for every residence around the world. Water problems
always occur in our life. For an example, water shortage, broken in the main water tank and
natural disaster such as drought season always occurs in many countries especially in Malaysia.
In the area of UiTM Shah Alam, there are many construction projects involving road
improvement and the development that can cause the break in the main pipe which water supply
cannot reach to the main water tank in UiTM. The facility staffs are facing difficulties to
measure the water level in water tank once there is a leakage or problem. They also have
troubles to do early preparation as they do not know when the water supply will be disrupted.
Modern water tank do not have notification system to alert the residence on the shortage supply
of the water. So, for this situation, a system that can send notification to the facility staffs is
needed to solve this problem. The objective of this project is to develop a water level indicator
system using gsm module that can monitor from far away. This project will be used sensors
and other electronic components to overcome this problem. The input of this system is when
ultrasonic sensor triggered on the changes of water level in water tank. Meanwhile, the output
of this system can be seen through messages that will send by gsm module to the user’s
smartphones and also can be monitor through LCD module. This system would be very helpful
to the residence to do early preparation when they already getting notifications on reducing of
water level in their water tank.

Problem statement

1. The facility staffs are facing difficulties to measure the water level in water tank once
there is a leakage or problem.
2. There is no earlier reminder to notify the user on the shortage supply of the water.
3. UiTM facilities do not know when the water in the tank will empty. They also have
troubles to do early preparation as they do not know when the water supply will be
disrupted.

Objective

1. To design a system that can measure the water level in a water tank.
2. To develop a water level notification system using gsm module.
 3. To test the functionality of the system in terms of water indicator module and
notification system.

Conclusion
In a nutshells, the GSM module based water level indicator system was successfully work and
achieve the objectives. The design of this system for monitoring the water level in water tank
have been successfully done. The aims of this project is to test the functionality of notification
system using GSM module by sending the messages to the users has been achieve the
objectives successfully. The user can easily know the level of water tank from far away as it
provide alert and notify the user by sending messages on the reducing water level in a water
tank. Thus, the user can do early preparation and make contingency plan for saving some water
to the residence at the area of UiTM Shah Alam.
