8. CHAPTER II Review of Related Literature/Systems 2.1 Foreign and local related literature/studies IOT APPLICATIONS IN AUTOMATED WATER LEVEL DETECTIONS (A. L. Madana and L. Sadath , 2020) IoT or The Internet of Things is one of the latest technologies available in today's world. It is basically the ability of various network connected sensors to collect various data related to temperature, electricity and various other types of data which can be sent to the network or cloud which then provides access to users for controlling these devices remotely without the need for any human-human or human-computer interaction. We already have the future of the Internet of Things (IoT). In many areas of social development and community living, such as healthcare, power and industrial automation, IoT technologies have been widely used. This paper is a novel study on IoT applications with a proposal for IoT enabled framework for automatic water level detections for water dispensers. DESIGN OF FOOD, MEDICINE & WATER DISPENSING AUTOMATION DEVICE (N. Niran , D. Das, D. Das and S. Banerjee, 2020) Human beings do not have control over nature. The casualties in natural calamities due to poor governance and non-availability of essential products like food, medicine and safe drinking water is the biggest loss and it has been a very challenging task for many countries. In this paper, an intelligent system has been proposed which would not only save affected people from hunger but also saves them from thirst and infectious diseases. Moreover, the system has been designed in such a way that people could get the full benefit by applying certain constraints and conditions. The system is also able to provide drinkable water to the people in need by taking dirty water as the input through a natural filtration system. The dispensers have been designed to ensure hassle-free distribution of essentials.

9. IMPLEMENTATION OF VOICE BASED HOT-COLD WATER DISPENSER SYSTEM USING RASPBERRY PI 3 (V. Jyothi, K. Hanuja , P. Shirisha , R. Avinash and P. Akhil, 2021) In today's generation, our busy lives have been totally automated, which simplifies things and attracts people to automated systems, which minimize human labour , putting less effort, time, and errors due to human carelessness. This system is completely supported voice-based, and it employs a Raspberry Pi circuit. It also has an IR sensor, a voice app, a Bluetooth module, jars for holding water, pipes, and a motor. During this project, the voice app detects the person's speech and transmits the appropriate information to the Raspberry Pi 3, which determines whether the water requested by the person should be hot or cold. The raspberry pi uses the information from the IR sensor to determine whether or not the glass is put beneath the pipe. The device employs infrared sensors to detect the presence of a water glass, after which the IR sensor sends a signal to the Raspberry Pi, causing the motor to start and water to flow via the pipes from the real jar (hot/cold). If the glass is not placed, the sensor sends a signal to the motor, which prevents water from flowing through the pipe until the glass is placed. This approach is frequently utilized in reception, offices, homes, and other places where people want hot or cold water by just voicing a command. AUTOMATED WATER DISPENSER – A HYGIENE SOLUTION FOR PANDEMIC (G.G. Raja Sekhar, D. Kalyan, R. Ramkumar, M. Lakshmi, 2023) World Health Organization suggested the primary steps to eradicate illness episodes including COVID infection 2019 (COVID-19, coronavirus), such as using disinfectants, safe drinking water, waste treatment, cleanliness conditions, and most importantly ensuring human well-being.

IOT-BASED SOLUTIONS TO MONITOR WATER LEVEL, LEAKAGE, AND MOTOR CONTROL FOR SMART WATER TANKS (Min-Allah ,Saqib Saeed ,Sardar Zafar Iqbal, Rashad Ahmed, 2022) Today, a large portion of the human population around the globe has no access to freshwater for drinking, cooking, and other domestic applications. Water resources in numerous countries are becoming scarce due to over urbanization, rapid industrial growth, and current global warming. Water is often stored in the aboveground or underground tanks. In developing countries, these tanks are maintained manually, and in some cases, water is wasted due to human negligence. In addition, water could also leak out from tanks and supply pipes due to the decayed infrastructure. To address these issues, researchers worldwide turned to the Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology to efficiently monitor water levels, detect leakage, and auto refill tanks whenever needed. Notably, this technology can also supply real-time feedback to end-users and other experts through a webpage or a smartphone. Literature reveals a plethora of review articles on smart water monitoring, including water quality, supply pipes leakage, and water waste recycling. However, none of the reviews focus on the IoT-based solution to monitor water level, detect water leakage, and auto control water pumps, especially at the induvial level that form a vast proportion of water consumers worldwide. To fill this gap in the literature, this study presents a review of IoT-controlled water storage tanks (IoT-WST).

11. 2.2 Foreign and local related systems DESIGNING HYGIENIC AND ENERGY SAVING OF WATER DISPENSER MACHINE ( Dodon Yendri et al 2020) The utilization of office water dispensers is less frequent compared to residential settings, as they are primarily used during working hours or specific periods. However, adherence to established health standards is essential to ensure the hygienic quality of dispensed water, devoid of germs or bacteria. Typically operational round the clock, water dispensers consume significant electrical energy. Nonetheless, monitoring water quality remains a challenge. To address this, a study was conducted to design a hygienic and energy-efficient water dispenser using a forward scheduling approach. This design incorporates various components, including ultraviolet (UV) sterilization, dispenser heaters, Arduino Uno sensors, DS18B20 temperature sensors, HC SR04 distance sensors, DC pumps, 2 relays, and RTCDS1307 real-time clock modules. The study findings demonstrate that the dispenser's heating system can operate based on a preset schedule using an advanced scheduling approach referring to RTC DS1307 time readings. Additionally, the UV lamp can be activated for 10 minutes to sterilize the dispenser's main container, estimated to suppress E. Coli bacteria at a rate of approximately 87.5 colonies per minute. This system effectively controls water quality, ensuring it is safe for consumption, while also significantly reducing electricity consumption by up to 79.87 kWh per month.

14. Automatic Water Tank Filling System Controlled using ArduinoTM based Sensor for Home Application (Eka Cahya Primaa , Siti Sarah Munifahab , Robby Salamb , Muhamad Haidzar Azizb , Agustin Tia Suryani , 2016) Water supply is essential for daily home activities, particularly washing, cleaning, and bathing. In Indonesian villages, water is commonly supplied by pumping groundwater into a water tank. However, the use of non-automated switches to control pumping machines can lead to water spills and wasteful electrical consumption. Previous research has explored the use of ArduinoTM -based sensors for various purposes, including plant watering systems, water tank overflow control, and automated irrigation systems. In this study, we propose an automated water tank filling system. The system integrates an ultrasonic sensor, an automatic switch module, a water-flow sensor, an ArduinoTM microcontroller, and a pumping machine to enable automatic water filling. The ultrasonic sensor is positioned atop the tank and transmits pulses into the tank. These pulses reflect off the liquid surface, allowing the device to calculate the distance to the surface based on the time delay between transmitted and received signals. The transmitter then automatically determines the liquid level and activates the pumping machine accordingly. The study will investigate the dynamics of water flow and liquid level during both filling and draining of the water tank. By implementing this system, we aim to alleviate concerns related to water spills and wasteful electrical consumption, thereby enabling people to enjoy a more convenient water supply experience.
