INTRODUCTION

Water level, stage, or flow can be measured with many

types of sensors, pressure transducer, bubblers, shaft encoders,

or ultrasonic sensors. The location where you are measuring

water level, the accuracy required, and the ease of installation all

contribute to determining the best water level sensor for your 

measurement site. Our robust ranges of liquid level sensors are

perfect for both long and short term water level monitoring.

Level Sensor is a measuring transducer that converts the

level measurement of liquids or bulk materials into mechanical,

electrical, or pneumatic signals that can be conveniently

transmitted, processed and recorded. They can be classified as

sensors for liquids or for bulk materials, depending on their 

purpose, and as float, hydrostatic, electric, acoustic, thermal,

nuclear, or optical sensors, depending on their operating

principle. Level sensors detect the level of substances that flow

including liquids, granular materials and powders. Fluids and

Fluidized solids flow to become essentially level in their 

containers because of gravity whereas most bulk solid pile at an

angle response to a peak. There are many physical and

application variables that affect the selection of the optimal level

monitoring method for industrial and commercial purposes. The

selection criteria include the physical: phase (liquid, solid, slurry),

temperature, pressure or vacuum, chemistry, dielectric constant

of medium, density (specific gravity) of medium, agitation,

acoustical or electrical noise, vibration, mechanical shock, tank

or bin size and shape. Also important application contains price,

accuracy, appearances, response rate, ease of calibration or 

programming, physical size and mounting of the instrument,

monitoring or control of the continuous or discrete levels. The

Water Level Sensor module is part of the Grove System. It

indicates whether the sensor is dry, damp or completely

immersed in water by measuring conductivity. The sensor traces

have a weak pull-up resistor of 1M Ω. The resistor will pull the

sensor trace to a value high until a drop of water shorts the

sensor trace to the ground trace. Believe it or not this circuit will

work with the digital I/O pins of your Arduino or you can use it

with the analog pins to detect the amount of water included

contact between the ground and sensor traces. Integral process

control in many industries, level measurement sensors fall into

two many types. Point level measurement sensors are used to

mark a single discrete liquid height a preset level condition.

Generally, his type of sensor functions as a high intense of 

alarm, signaling an overfill condition, or as a marker for alarm

condition. Continuous level sensors are more sophisticated and

can provide level monitoring of an entire system. They measure

fluid level within a range, rather than at a one point, producing an

analog output that directly correlates to the level in the vessel. To

create a level management system, the output signal is linked to

a process control loop and to a visual indicator. A variety of 

sensors are available for point level detection of solids. These

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Level sensors - detect the level of substances that flow,

including liquids, slurries, granular materials, and powders.

Fluids and fluidized solids flow to become essentially level in

their containers (or other physical boundaries) because

of gravity whereas most bulk solids pile at an angle of repose to

a peak.

Buzzer - or beeper is an audio signaling device, which

may be mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric. Typical

uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices, timers and

confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.

Battery - which is actually an electric cell, is a device that

produces electricity from a chemical reaction. Strictly speaking, a

battery consists of two or more cells connected in series or 

parallel, but the term is generally used for a single cell.

Etching - the process of using strong acid or mordant to

cut into the unprotected parts of metal surface to create a design

in intaglio in the metal (the original process—in modern

manufacturing other chemicals may be used on other types of 

material).

PCB (Printed Circuit Board) - used to mechanically

support and electrically connect electronic components using

conductive pathways, tracks or signal traces etched from copper 

sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate

LED (light-emitting diode) - a semiconductor light source.

LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices and are

increasingly used for general lighting.

Capacitor - (originally known as a condenser) is a passive

two terminal electrical component used to store energy electro-

statically in an electric field.

Resistor - a passive two-terminal electrical component that

implements electrical resistance as a circuit element.

Transistor - is a semiconductor device used to amplify

and switch electronic signals and electrical power . It is

composed of semiconductor material with at least three terminals

for connection to an external circuit.

Diode - a two-terminal electronic component with

asymmetric conductance, it has low (ideally zero) resistance to

current flow in one direction, and high (ideally infinite) resistance

in the other.

Integrated circuit - or monolithic integrated circuit (also

referred to as an IC, a chip, or a microchip) is a set of electronic

circuits on one small plate ("chip") of semiconductor material,

normally silicon. This can be made much smaller than a discrete

circuit made from independent components.

Fiberglass - a lightweight, extremely strong, and robust

material. Although strength properties are somewhat lower than

Global warming has born an adverse effect to worldwide

climate. This climate change resulted to massive flood due to

tumultuous outburst of rain brought by typhoon and southwest

monsoon in some regions of the country.

The disaster has been prevailing over the years that cause

damage to properties and lives. Various measures had been

applied and implemented to lessen or resolve its risk. At these

modern times, with the advent of technology, great inventions

can conquer this problem at any rate. As our group contribution

to the community, we have made the water sensory device. This

device could be of great help to people in monitoring the water 

level whenever heavy rain occurs especially in low lying areas or 

residences nearby the river. The significance of this tool is that, it

can be easily assemble and the needed materials are bought in

its affordable price. Another remarkable advantage of this device

is that it can be utilized in far flung areas where electricity is not

available because it can be operated using a dry cell or battery.

Moreover, it warns the people when water level rises because it

alarms quickly. It can be installed anywhere in your area or 

household at the same time. This device is an environmental

friendly and economically wise.

In doing this project, first we recommend that once you

have the PCB layout or PCB design, it must be both verified and

tested. We also recommend checking the effectiveness of every

component because any problem in the components will cause

delay in the project making and will spend lots of money for the

new component. Testing is the real-world counterpart to

verification, checking the circuit really does do what it was

designed to.

We also recommend to consider the type of source you are

going to use, either AC or DC. Based on the source or power,

there is an appropriate wire to be used. Check with your local

hardware store for more information on what wires to use. This is

to mainly void power loss during the transmission of electricity.

When you have the kit needed in this project, we

recommend to double check the polarity of every component

because sometimes the polarity indicated in the kit is wrong. If 

unable to do so, this will cause the maker to check for the

problem manually and this will be a waste of time.

Before soldering the components, we recommend to check

for the connections two or more times to avoid short

connections. Improper connections might cause the component

to be busted. Lastly, in the transmitter used, always check the

positions of the emitter, base and collector because this is the

common problem encounter in the circuit.

 After making this project, we have concluded that level

sensors are important in observing water level. The project’s

advantages are it is inexpensive, the material are easily

accessible and it is easy to build.

Creating the project takes time and effort, so it must be

planned carefully. Paying attention to the wiring and assembling

is significant in order for the project to work properly.

The project is important and applicable for water bodies

such as lakes and rivers. This project can be of high use

especially in stormy weathers.

A. Summary of Group Performance Evaluation

Everyone did their part in making this project a success.

Dividing the work to the group makes it easier for each one of us

to finish the project. And after a time of hard work we finish it in

time.

Noel John Del Rosario was the one responsible for the

idea in making this Water Level Sensor project and every aspect

of this project, from the paper works up to the finish project. But

without the help of each one from the group it might be

impossible to finish it in time.

 Aljan Rodriguez and Lauren Loui Macahilas were the ones

who thought and built the model design for the project

applications. They made the miniature water dam that will be use

to show the use of the project in the community.

 Alexia Dale Mendoza, Jacqueline Rose De Julio and Jm

Marc Juacalla were the ones who helped with the paper works

and for its documentations.

Harold Milagrosa was the one who lent us his tool and

equipment in making this project. He also gave some ideas on

how the circuit could work in actual situations.

The very first thing that we did was to buy the necessary

components for the project. After that, we started to etch and drill

the PCB, then put the essential components to the designated

ports and soldered them. We tested the circuit and it worked fine.

Then, we thought of a model that was crucial for the application

of the circuit and considered a water dam as an example.

Nowadays, especially during rainy days, water levels are more

likely to be ignored without the help of any human interaction.

This sensor is capable of alarming or reminding each and every

individual that the water levels has already reached the limit of 

the water dam.

 At first, we thought that it could not be finished at the given

time. However, as we pushed ourselves to our limits, coupled

with the determination to overcome hardships and sacrifices in

completing this project, we were able to finish it.
