The main objective of this Research project is to build such a prototype system which can control and monitor the flow of water from water reservoir. This new system uses microcontroller as a central part to sense the water through a NAND gate Integrated Circuit and inform the microcontroller. On the basis of gathered results the controller will open the solenoid valve and also will send the information to the main unit. On the main unit side this information will be displayed on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). Where for real time monitoring a wireless camera is used which sends the real time video to the receiver side through RF (Radio Frequency) module.
