Smart water flow monitoring and forecasting system

Accurate metering and determining proper tariff, as well as billing system, are vital in water management system. The paper proposes a method to watch and forecast the consumption of the water in the domestic pipeline through a web server. There are many systems to do the same, but this is about monitoring consumption of water using the Internet with the help of Raspberry pi and Arduino. The flow rate of the water is measured by Hall Effect sensor based flow meter. Raspberry Pi a micro-computer receives the data from Arduino micro-controller which is connected to the flow meter. The Raspberry pi uploads the data onto cloud infrastructure where database is setup. The web base solution also depicts the day to day consumption of the water to its users and water distributors. The paper also aims at predicting the consumption of the water in future for its users using advance data analytics. This paper also includes demand management, asset management, and leakage management aspects of water management system.
