There is a huge wastage of water all around everyday by the overflowing of tanks.So to overcome such situations we have come up with a IoT solution along with an app that enables us to intelligently save this overflowing of water and contribute to our future.

Components Used
Ultrasonic Module HC-SR04 Ultrasonic module HC-SR04 is generally used for finding distance value and obstacle detection. It can operate in the range 2cm-400cm.	X 1
ESP8266 WiFi Module ESP8266 is a system on chip (SoC) which provides WIFI capability for embedded applications. This enables internet connectivity to embedded applications. ESP8266 modules are mostly used in Internet of Things(IoT) applications.	X 1

Description

To start building the project, here we first create a database in google firebase from which data can be easily fetched both by our Nodemcu(ESP8266)to which the ultrasonic is connected and also by our mobile application. The ultrasonic sensor is basically measuring the level of the water in the pump and giving sensor output value to the Nodemcu. The Arduino is there to provide 5V supply to the ultrasonic.
