Abstract:

This paper presents the design and prototype implementation of USenSewer, an automated sewerage management system that uses Arduino microcontroller coupled with
an ultrasonic sensor, a NRF module and a GSM module to
automate the routine checkup and removal of drain blockage
vital for the continuous waste water flow in the big cities. The
proposed system consists of three main components; the blockage
detection system which is placed inside the drain, the blockage
removal system which is placed above the ground level and a
control center which controls and coordinates the collection of
waste materials placed by the first two components. Several pilot
installations of the system in the city of Dhaka have shown that
the proposed system significantly outperforms the state-of-theart manual systems prevailing in the city from the scalability,
flexibility and economic point of view.
