Abstract:
Water distribution systems consist of an interconnected series of pipes, storage facilities, and components that convey drinking water and meeting fire protection needs for cities, homes, schools, hospitals, businesses, industries and other facilities. Public water systems depend on distribution systems to provide an uninterrupted supply of pressurized safe drinking water to all consumers. It is the distribution system mains that carry water from the treatment plant to the consumer. This research introduces a design of a data logger based on using microcontrollers for recording the data related to the water distribution network. The logged data includes recording the pressure and rate of flow sensing in the water distribution network. The system design operates automatically. Any malfunction in the water distribution network will be reported in real time in order to take immediate action and therefore avoiding possible damages.
