An Approach of Implementing IoT Based Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting & Monitoring

Abstract
With the continual increment in population and severe droughts, we are facing receding water levels in urban areas. Where The water demands have only gone up, Rainwater harvesting is becoming a more important aspect of the toolset for long-term water management. Hence we have chosen an IoT-based approach to solve the issue which was missing in this particular field even though there have been some microcontroller-based approaches. With the installation of a reservoir and a few sensors, this proposal will ensure better water management for the urban areas, whether in the presence or absence of a power supply. This solves many preexisting problems like overfilling of the reservoirs as the monitoring is done at all times. As samples of our Approach-Water of all qualities, clear, opaque, and dirty were tested- and it was possible to distinguish successfully.
