String Tension based Borewell Water Level Monitoring using IoT
Abstract: The high rate of groundwater usage has resulted in a rapid decline in groundwater levels, which has necessitated its monitoring. This paper focuses on estimating the groundwater level inside borewells remotely and in real-time using the Internet of Things (IoT). For this, a solution is proposed which is based on string tension and does not require any electrical components to be lowered into the borewell. The solution provides a completely automated, real-time, reliable, and IoT-enabled alternative to existing methods for borewell water monitoring. The proposed approach is compared with an ultrasonic sensor-based approach in a controlled environment as well as in a tank to ascertain the reliability. Additionally, four nodes were deployed in a small educational campus in the Indian city of Hyderabad to ascertain its usability and feasibility in practical situations. The observations from the data collected over a month show that the proposed low-cost solution is reliable and has a good performance in the field.
