Abstract - The water tank level monitoring and motor
prone to errors. In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) technology has gained significant attention due to its potential in various applications, including water tank level monitoring and motor pump control system. IoT allows for the integration of sensors, microcontrollers, and web as well as android applications, providing real-time monitoring of water levels. Most of the authors [14-17], used IoT to their works on water level monitoring.
pump control system is a critical aspect of ensuring an adequate supply of water. Due to an excessive supply of water, the majority of residents in residential areas experience water shortages and water tank overflows. Users find it challenging to gauge the amount of water in water tanks, which increases the risk that they will run out of water when they need it most. Users won't notice when the water tank is filled even when the motor pump is active, which could lead to an overflow. To resolve problems with water tanks, a water tank level monitoring and motor pump control system is used. It is also feasible to employ a sensor to monitor the water level of the tank so that anytime the water falls below a predetermined threshold user can turn on the motor pump and monitor the water level using an Android application. Also, when a water tank overflows, a sensor is used to monitor the water level. If the water level rises above a certain threshold, the motor pump can be turned off by the user. Water waste is prevented by this system.
Water tanks are a popular way of storing water in many parts of the world, especially in areas where water supply is unreliable. However, monitoring water tank levels can be a challenging task, as it requires constant attention to ensure adequate water supply. Due to an excessive supply of water, the majority of individuals experience water shortages and water tank overflow issues [1], [8]. Hence, there is a requirement of water tank level monitoring and motor pump control system, which will check the water level from the water tank and users can take necessary actions immediately to save water from wastage. Water tank level monitoring and motor pump control system can be employed in various applications like food grains storage units, industrial locations, commercial and residential areas.

This work aims to design and develop an Internet of Things (IoT) based water tank level monitoring and motor pump control system that analyses the level of water and to takes necessary steps to prevent water waste from water tank. It also intimates the user about the water level of tanks, if it reaches beyond the maximum level.
1. INTRODUCTION Water is the main element used in daily living, whether for home or commercial purposes. Overuse of water is now a significant problem that is harming our environment. Lack of water may result from excessive wasting, which can also cause other environmental issues like climate change, droughts, rising pollution, and rising human demand. As there is a limited supply of fresh water, it is crucial to use and manage it properly. Monitoring water waste in different sectors, such as residential, commercial, or industrial locations, is urgently necessary [1].
2. LITERATURE REVIEW An automatic water tank level and pump control system was created by Premi et al. [1]. The system's sensor devices monitor and regulate the water level in the pump as well as the overhead tank. The sensor detects the level of the overhead tank and transmits various signals to the Arduino, which are used to turn the motor pump on and off. The circuit has a buzzer that will sound when the water level in the overhead tank reaches a certain level.
Depending on the various fields [2], it may be for survival or economical or other different field’s water has its own level of importance. Therefore, saving water is one of the challenging aspects for the survival of human race. Monitoring the water level in tanks is crucial to ensure that the water supply is sufficient. Traditional methods of monitoring water levels are manual, time-consuming, and
