Water Loss & Tank Overflow Prevention

Problem Statement

Water distribution systems frequently suffer from unmonitored losses, tank overflows, and inefficient usage. In the absence of real-time monitoring, significant water wastage occurs without detection.

Ground Reality

Typical observations across municipal and industrial water systems include:

• Tank overflow due to lack of level monitoring
• Water losses in pipelines without any accountability
• No correlation between supplied water and stored water
• Manual monitoring leading to delays and human errors

Solution Approach

Hexitronics proposes a 2-sensor IoT-based monitoring system integrating:

• Level Sensor: Monitors water level in tanks or reservoirs
• Flow Sensor: Measures incoming or outgoing water flow in pipelines

The system continuously tracks both parameters and sends data to a cloud platform via 4G connectivity for real-time analysis.

Sensor Logic (Core Intelligence)

• Flow present + Level not increasing → Possible leakage
• Level increasing without controlled flow → Unaccounted input
• Level reaches maximum → Overflow risk
• No flow + decreasing level → Consumption or leakage

System Architecture

Key Features

• Real-time level and flow monitoring
• Water balance analysis (input vs storage)
• Overflow alerts and leakage detection
• Battery / solar powered deployment
• Secure cloud connectivity

Future Dashboard & Analytics

Advanced analytics include:

• Daily water usage trends
• Tank fill and discharge cycles
• Leakage detection reports
• Zone-wise water distribution efficiency
• Predictive alerts for abnormal patterns

Benefits

• Significant reduction in water wastage
• Prevention of tank overflows
• Improved distribution efficiency
• Data-driven water management
• Suitable for smart city and rural water schemes

Deployment Strategy

Step 1: Install sensors at tank and inlet/outlet pipelines
Step 2: Validate water balance logic
Step 3: Scale across entire distribution network
