LabVIEW based Rainwater Harvesting System

Abstract

Abstract: Today, there is a lack of water resources to meet water demands. Rainwater is a natural source of water to human beings and living things, which is not being used productively. The productive use of rainwater is called Rainwater Harvesting. The collected water may be used for drinking, gardening, household purposes etc.  Our proposed solution is to monitor and control the quality and quantity of water using Lab VIEW programming software and accordingly take further steps. The collected water goes through the threshold values of quality measurement i.e., pH value, Turbidity & Conductivity, while measuring the level of harvested water in the sump. If the harvested water is qualified, it can be used for household purposes and if it is not qualified, the harvested water sinks into the ground to increase the groundwater level. The aim of this project is to increase the groundwater level, productive usage of rainwater, reduce the water bill and it has less maintenance and is cost efficient as well. The future scope is to purify the water using filters and convert it into drinking water and irrigation purposes.
