Abstract:
-This thesis aims to create a water level monitoring system to be tested for river environments and be unaffected by factors attributed by rain. The system will incorporate an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and memory card into its design for continuous operation in case of power outages and data accuracy and contingency. The thesis goal is for the system to have a minimal accuracy of 90% regardless of inaccuracies caused by rain, waves, or power outages. The sensor is made of four probes which indicate if the water levels belong to any of the following categories: safe, low, high and critical. The data is then sent to the PIC microcontroller, and then sent to the memory card, which acts as a first hand data back-up, and to the GSM module which transmits it as an SMS to selected cellular phone numbers.
