PLC Controlled Water DistributionSystem

Water is basic need of human being. Water treatment is one of the important process involved in the water distribution process. In PCMC area the water distribution infrastructure is widely spreaded effectively. Water management is a matter of high priority in India and those responsible for major operations of water distribution need to be educated in this endeavor. Automation provides optimized solution to all problems of distribution of water system. The entire system has features of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system to control and monitor the water supply and in case of power failures to maintain continuity of power supply. Now-a-days, Water distribution system faces some problems like water leakage & improper water supply. This leakage causes drastic reduction in pressure of water flowing through supply line. Due to this, consumer gets less amount of water. By, considering above scenario we are trying to find solution for the problem. Hence, we are working with Water Supply Department of Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation. The main aim of this project is to provide effective water supply to each consumer & to detect the leakage sites and malpractices. In this project we are working on the distributed network under the area of single water tank. Mainly we are focusing on the pressure transmitter which are located at different branches in distribution network to indicate pressure variation at different location. Thus, we are going to develop a system in which we can analyze the pressure from different branches of distribution network and compare it with fixed benchmark. In this way, we are able to control& monitor the whole system.
