Title: PREVENTION OF WATER THEFT USING EMBEDDED SYSTEM
Description:
In this system a “Water flow sensor” and a Solenoid valve is directly connected in the pipe line of water supply. The sensor operates under certain predefined value. When there is a variation in the water flow due to any pumping of water through motor, it will be detected by the water flow sensor. The analog signals generated due to variation in the flow of water sensed by the water flow sensor are converted into digital signals using Analog to Digital Convertor (ADC) and this digital signal is given to Microcontroller. This microcontroller enables the RF transmitter for intimate to water supply board. At the same time they enable the driver unit to closes the solenoid valve. The whole user performance and corresponding responses are acquired in the LabVIEW.
The whole transmitter arrangement can be placed at each and every house’s government pipe line connection. When there is a variation in the rate of water flow due to pumping of water, it will be detected by the water flow sensor. Then the flow of the water in the pipe line will be disconnected and hence the drinking water will be saved from theft. RF transmitter contains the encoder which will be used to encode the signals from the microcontroller AT89C51 and send the signal over a range of 433MHz through the medium of air to the RF receiver section of the system.
The whole receiver arrangement can be placed at regional water supply board, which is to be interfaced with system with LabVIEW. The RF receiver receives the transmitted signal from the RF transmitter. The decoder present in the RF receiver decodes the signals and sends it to the microcontroller. The microcontroller AT89C51 is connected to personal computer using VISA Module. Hence the overall action of our projects is monitored through the personal computer with LabVIEW.

The Challenge
RF transmitter and receiver can only be used within a short range.
If we use an AC solenoid valve the efficiency of microcontroller will be reduced. So we can replace it with a DC solenoid valve.
The Solution
Here the sensor operates under certain predefined value. When there is a variation in the water flow due to any pumping of water through motor, it will be detected by the water flow sensor. The analog signals generated due to variation in the flow of water sensed by the water flow sensor are converted into digital signals using Analog to Digital Convertor (ADC) and this digital signal is given to Microcontroller. This microcontroller enables the RF transmitter for intimate to water supply board. At the same time they enable the driver unit to closes the solenoid valve, the water supply to the particular pipe line is completely blocked.
By using our project we can completely eradicate the water theft in the government pipelines. So that people could get equal share of water.This system is excellent and cost effective to prevent the drinking water from the theft. In future our government is planning to send liquid petroleum gas and other fuels through pipe lines. This project can also be used in the above mentioned sehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lmwZmhmrXs&feature=youtu.bector to prevent theft.
