A smart hydro-informatics system for real-time monitoring of solar powered surface water pumps.

Abstract

Surface water pumping is carried out worldwide. It is carried out to move water from areas of low altitudes to areas of high altitude for domestic uses and irrigation purposes. After a short period of time, many pumps get damaged before reaching their design period due to lack of real time monitoring systems for both water quality and hydraulic water parameters. This leaves us with high operational, maintenance and treatment costs. This design focused on addressing the major problems encountered due to uncontrolled pump failures this has resulted from negligence of water parameter monitoring The system achieves its functionality through use of various sensors to automatically respond to these parameters by turning off and on of the pump.
