Smart Water Resource Management Embedded System Based on FreeRTOS

This paper describes priority-based smart water management embedded system based on FreeRTOS. The problems with the existing water supply system are not able to be managed efficiently. It causes overprovisioning which wasted resources and oversupply, whereas, in poor countries, the uneven distribution of resources means people are denied enough supply of water. The proposed embedded system has a controller board, a moisture sensor to measure soil moisture, a smoke detector for fire monitoring and a couple of DC motor-based water pumps to control the water supply. Water usage is gathered from sensors and other combined information to build a picture of current supply and demand. Given a finite amount of water that must be shared, the system allows planners to plan how to allocate water and to match supply with demand based on priority and real-time information gathered from sensors and other information sources. The result from this research showed that priority-based real-time water resource distribution system is achievable and can contribute to zero-waste water management for buildings, farms, and cities alike.
