Smart Underground Drainage Management System Using Internet of Things

Abstract

Over the municipal corporation infrastructures, drainage system plays a significant role. This drainage system is undoubtedly a crucial part in every one of our day to day lives. At present day, many people and also all the drainage workers have been facing various problems in cleaning such drainages. This problem was delineated different capacities utilized for support and observing of underground drainage systems. Therefore, it is a need to focus on the present technologies that ensure more safety to the drainage workers and also designing of a system to address the various problems of underground water, and harmful gases is a significant one. Then, a smart drainage system is developed using several sensors such as level, flow, and gas sensors by interfacing them to the ARM7 processor. This smart drainage system can be designed in such a way to monitor the smart drainage system, water flow, water level in underground, gases, and manhole system using the Internet of Things (IOT) technology. The sensors used in the smart drainage system can detect if any blockage occur in drainage system or water flows in underground system and then displays the respective information on the 16 × 2 LCD display when the sensors detects the values more than their threshold level. The GSM technology is also used in the system to communicate the information to the nearest municipality service center for the further corrective action.
