Rainwater Harvesting Project Proposal
Rainwater Harvesting Project Proposal
1. Project Title: Smart Rainwater Harvesting System with IoT-based Monitoring and
Automation
3. Objectives:
4. Methodology:
• Data Collection: Use IoT sensors (rain sensors, water level sensors, soil moisture
sensors) to gather real-time data.
• Data Processing: Use Python for data analysis and prediction models.
• Automation: Develop a Python script to control water flow using relay modules and
actuators.
• Visualization: Create a dashboard using Flask/Django and integrate it with a
database (SQLite/MySQL) for data storage.
• Alert System: Send notifications via email/SMS when the tank is full or water needs
redirection.
5. Innovative Approach:
• Smart Decision Making: The system will analyze real-time data and decide
whether to store or redirect rainwater based on tank capacity and ground moisture
levels.
• AI-based Prediction: Use machine learning in Python to forecast water demand
based on past consumption and weather data.
• Remote Monitoring & Control: Users can access the system via a web dashboard
or mobile app.
• Integration with GIS: Use GIS mapping to analyze rainwater harvesting potential in
different areas of the campus.
