Abstract

The system includes four components: A GIS part that helps the user to construct a geo-data base for the spatial distribution of the water wells identified by their location (Longitude and Latitude). The ultrasonic flow meter, IoT controller unit, actuator for control of the pump operation, and server for data storage. As shown in figure 1, the water conservation system unit collects the data from the well at certain site and sends it to the server for monitoring and control of the underground water flow. In order to facilitate the handling of the system to the end user another part was introduced comprises a conversion of the GIS database into a google earth format file which enable the end user to open the spatial data base in google earth and can axis on any/every water well online and enables the owner or the moderator to monitor the water flow from the well (online) and can switch the well pump off or on. To help conserve the water reservoir and protect the aquifer from over-pumping, an additional part was added to the software enabling the user or the moderator to fix a limit of water quantity flow from the well -in cubic meters- which will let the water well pump to shut down automatically when this amount is reached. This limit can be calculated using pumping test and have a relation with the aquifer capacity and characteristics.
