1.3 Aim and Objectives of the Study
The
aim of which the designed device is expected to accomplish is to build
an automatic water level control with automatic control system. In this
project sensors are place at different level of the tank and with the
aid of these sensors, the micro-controller monitor the level of the
liquid at any particular point in time. To achieve the stated aim, the
following specific objectives were laid out:
i. To design an automatic water monitoring system
ii. To incorporate an interactive display medium between the end user and the machine
iii. To prevent over labor of the pumping machine and prevent it from getting bad
iv. To avoid wastage of water since the demand of
electricity is very high, automatic water level control saves energy
1.4 Scope of the Project
The
project was design to automatically control the pump which ensures
constant reserve of water in the reservoir. The scope of the design was
keep concise and simple to in other not to introduce unnecessary
complexities and render it generally uncomfortable. The system does not
have attached complex peripheral device which though impossible for the
detail printable information has been excluded for reasons of
affordability material of low range and less accurate performances as
opposed to a 15 well built automatic water pump was use d to achieve
this aim, the automatic water level controller detect and control the
water in the tank
1.5 Justification of the Study
Automatic water
level monitor came into existence because of human error and
inconsistence that is associated with manually operated water pumping
machine. This is because it takes time for individual who is manually
operating the water pump to turn off the pumping machine and this may
cause water spillage and at times the individual might not know that the
water level has drop so low until the tank is completely empty. This
was the problem that leads to the development of the ideal of an
automatic water level control and Automatic Pump Short Down.
1.6 Limitations of the Project
The
biggest setback experience during the course of this project is
difficulties in finding the design of the project, secondly sourcing of
material and component I used for the project were difficult to find
like pump and buffer for programming. It is significant to know that
this design is limited to 12v, 5amps electric pump and cannot be use to
control industrial water pump above 5 amps

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Automatic water level controller for both overhead and underground tank is designed to monitor the level of water in a tank. It displays the level of water and when it is at the lowest level; a pump is activated automatically to refill the tank. When the tank is filled to its maximum capacity, the pump is automatically de-energized. Several circuits are put together to ensure proper working of this design, and the block diagram includes the supply unit, the micro-processor unit, the sensor unit, ... Continue reading---
