Dam Operation Based On Water Level Project

Download Project Document/Synopsis

We here propose an automatic dam water level monitor and controller system. Our proposed project uses sensors to sense the water level and then opens the dam gate (motor used to demonstrate as dam gate) according to the water level. Our system uses multiple water level sensors (float sensors) for this purposes. The sensors are mounted at three different levels in order to check water level and provide signals accordingly. When water reaches first sensor it is sensed by it and displayed. When water reaches second sensor it provides a signal to the microcontroller and it opens the dam gate partially. As soon as the water level reaches the third sensor, it signals the microcontroller and the microcontroller then signals the motor to run, which is demonstrated as opening the dam gate fully. Thus our proposed system allows for automatic dam gate opening based on water level sensing.
