Abstract
This paper presents the design and development ofan automated water level monitoring and pumping system that utilizes ultrasonic sensors for precise water level detection. The system integrates an Arduino Mega microcontroller with sensors and a relay module to control pump operation. It autonomously activates the pump when the water level falls below a predefined threshold and deactivates it upon reaching the desired high level, thereby minimizing human intervention and reducing water wastage. Experimental results demonstrate that the system responds rapidly, with a one-second activation and deactivation time for the pump after detecting changes in water level, ensuring efficient andreliable operation. This study addresses limitations in existing solutions by incorporating a more robust microcontroller and high-precision ultrasonic sensors, enhancing both accuracy and reliability. The system is designed with affordability in mind, making it suitable for deployment across various settings. Additionally, its modular architecture enables scalability andadaptability to different operational requirements. This research contributes to the field by demonstrating the feasibility ofa cost-effective, microprocessor-based autonomous pumping system that employs readily available conductive materials for leveldetection. The proposeddesign provides a practicalandefficient solution for sustainable water management in both domestic andindustrialapplications.
