Conclusion
The Internet is capable of changing the human life.
IOT has Great Potential to increase communication
between smarter object. The purpose of this project
is very simple it can use to start and stop water
pump automatically using Wifi Connection. Using
this statistics we can save the water. This statistics
can be used to send water in rural areas. The
Android Application can show the current level as
well as the statistics of water. This system is very
cost effective so it is a better way to monitor the
level of water.
Further work involve that the statistics can be used
for the public welfare office using this statistics
they can manage the supply of water in a particular
areas. This can save the water which is helpful for
the mankind and Environment.
