Smart aqua meter

This paper aims at providing a solution to the problems faced in the existing analogue water meters that include the low accuracy in flow measurement, air valve issue, manual billing system and uneven distribution of water. The SMART AQUA METER-SAM overcomes these limitations by introducing a smart electronic measurement system. It automates the billing system using a low power wireless technology-ZigBee[1]. Water consumption is monitored in real time and the data is transmitted to the data centre via ZigBee for storage, billing and maintenance purposes. A human machine interface is designed using NI LabVIEW. An experimental result provides the validity for the proposed work.
