Abstract

Decision support systems

Smart cities

Water management

Ultrasonic level measurement

IoT

We discuss the design and preliminary results of an IoT based system for management of the water distribution system in a large campus. In particular, we focus on two specific components of the system: a low cost ultrasonic based water level sensor and a sub-GHz based campus scale wireless network to connect the sensors. We describe techniques to achieve a large sensing distance that makes them suitable for installation across overhead tanks (OHT) and ground level reservoirs (GLR). The wireless network, which uses sub-GHz radios, connects to a gateway that can upload the data online for visualisation and analytics.
