Abstract
The water level alarm is a simple mechanism to detect and indicate the level of water in the
overhead tank and also in the other containers. Nowadays, all the householders/owners
are storing the water in overhead tanks by using the pumps. When the water is stored in
the tank, no one can identify the level of water and also, no one can know when the water
tank will fill. Hence there is an overflow of water in the tank, thus there is wastage of
energy and water. To resolve this type of problems by using the water level alarm circuit .It
helps and indicates the level of water in the overhead tanks. The cost of the water level
alarm circuit is low and its use full for the overhead water tanks, swimming pool boilers,
etc.. The water level alarm circuits are used in the factories, chemical plants, and electrical
substations and also in other liquid storage systems.

Keywords: water indicator alarm, alert, saving water, conservation of energy, disaster

1. INTRODUCTION:

Water is basic need in every one’s life. Saving and proper usage of water is very important.
Here is a project which will give the alarm when there is overflow of water, so that we can make
some actions and save the overflow of water.

A water detector is an electronic device that is designed to detect the presence of water for
purposes such as to provide an alert in time to allow the prevention of water leakage. A common
design is a small cable or device that lies flat on a floor and relies on the electrical conductivity of
water to decrease the resistance across two contacts. The device then sounds an
audible alarm together with providing onward signaling in the presence of enough water to bridge the
contacts. These are useful in a normally occupied area near any infrastructure that has the potential to
leak water, such as water pipes, drain pipes and water tanks.
The water level indicator is defined as a system which gets the information about the water level in
reservoirs or in tanks which is used in homes. By using the water level indicator we can overcome the
overflow of water from the tankers.

The electronic water level alarm circuit is connected to the alarm and it is placed at the above
electronic water level circuit which is having the capability of alerting the person of a home. When the
water level is at high or low or at exceed the higher limit.
 2. WORKING PRINCIPLE:

The water level indicator circuit consists of a 9V battery and connectors, buzzer, connecting
wire, bottle caps, a used sketch pen or a stick used for connecting the circuit, aluminum foil, water and
a container.
A constant 9 V power supply is given to the buzzer connected through connecting wires and
the rest of the circuit. The calibration for simple water level indicator levels will vary according to the
medium of liquid whose level is to be calculated. The positive terminal of the battery is connected
with negative terminal of the buzzer then the two terminals that are negative terminal of battery and
positive terminal of the buzzer are remaining. Two small pieces of the aluminum foils is cut in cubical
shapes and twirled around the positive terminal of the buzzer and negative terminal of the battery.
Two caps are attached together with a hole made in the centre and aluminum foil is stuck on the
upper side, similarly other two caps are attached together. Now, the used sketch pen is cut from the
head part. On the upper cap the two other terminals of the battery and buzzer are stuck and the cap is
inserted in the sketch pen and stuck with glue on the top. The other cap with the foil is made movable
and placed at the other end of the pen. Now water is filled in the beaker and the cap being plastic
floats on the water surface and when it reaches the level when the alarm needs to be raised the two
cap touch each other and the circuit is completed raising the alarm.

Applications of Water Level Indicator

 The water level indicator is used in Hotels, Home apartments, commercial complex, and in
factories.
 The pumps used in the water level indicator are single phase motor, submersible motor, and in
three phase motor.
 By using the two motors, two sumps, two overhead tanks we cannot control by a single circuit.
 Automatically the pump will switch ON/OFF when the water level in the tank is empty and full.
 We can also measure the fuel level in motor vehicles
 The liquid level containers are huge in the companies

Advantages of Water Level Indicator

 The water level indicators are low cost in the market

 Any person can identify the water level easily by hearing the beep sound
 By using this we can control the water level safely and easily

5. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
I would like to express my special gratitude to my teacher MR. SANDIP DHOBOLE who gave me
this golden opportunity to do this wonderful project on water level indicator alarm which also
helped me in doing a lot of research and I came to know about so many new things, I am really
thankful to him.
