Innovative Child Rescue System from Borewell using Arduino

Across the globe, the demand for water is high, especially in developing nations like India. Humans are digging bore wells in water-scarce locations, primarily in rural areas, as a result, the demand for underground water raised. Many innocent infants and animals are falling into these pits which are left uncovered. They are prone to death due to no proper and efficient rescue equipment. In recent cases, it is seen that the conventional approach is inefficient in terms of time and labor requirements. This means that it takes long time and effort to complete a task using this method, which can result in delay, higher costs, and may lead to the death of the victim. The proposed child rescue system features an arm clipper designed to safely extract the child from the borewell. A wireless webcam is mounted onto the arm clipper, which provides real-time monitoring of the infant's position as the rescue operation progresses. To accurately measure the temperature deep inside the borewell, a temperature sensor is also attached to the arm dipper. A gas sensor is used to detect the presence of harmful gases. What sets this research apart from existing methods is the provision of a flexible base for the child, which prevents them from sinking deeper into the borewell. The base is delivered to the victim in the form of a stick and, once it reaches the victim, it opens up into an L-shape, providing a stable platform for the child. The entire system is controlled by a microcontroller, which receives commands through switches. The use of this innovative base and microcontroller-based control system improves the safety and efficiency of borewell rescue operations, ultimately helping to save lives.
