Abstract
Water scarcity and wasteful water management are increasing issues across the globe, calling for creative solutions to maximize resource efficiency. The use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in water management infrastructure has evolved as a revolutionary solution to make water use more efficient, minimize wastage, and promote sustainable water utilization. This project designs a dynamic system of water management optimization using IoT technologies to track, analyze, and regulate water distribution in real-time. The system uses intelligent sensors, actuators, and cloud-based systems to monitor and analyze water levels, flow rates, and consumption habits. Advanced data analytics and the system forecast demand patterns, identify leaks, and manage water allocation to different sectors. The suggested solution provides transparent communication among IoT devices, which allow for automated responses to dynamic environmental conditions. Furthermore, an easy-to-use interface supplies stakeholders with actionable information, making it easier for them to make informed decisions based on effective water conservation measures. Experimental findings prove that the system can effectively minimize water wastage, optimize resource distribution, and ensure effective water dispensation. The integration of IoT technologies greatly improves the flexibility and responsiveness of conventional water management practices.. The suggested system eventually leads to the alleviation of water crises while advocating for efforts in environmental preservation. This innovative IoT-based solution represents a feasible and effective measure toward realizing smarter, more sustainable water management strategies.
