INTRODUCTION
Automatic water pump controller is a series of
functions to control the Automatic Water Pump
Controller Circuit in a reservoir or water storage.
The water level sensor is made with a metal
plate mounted on the reservoir or water tank.
With a sensor in the short to create the top level
and a detection sensor for detecting long again
made for the lower level.
And ground lines connected to the bottom of
reservoirs.
 RELATED
WORKS
Khaled Reza el al., (2010) introduced the notion
of water level monitoring and management within
the context of electrical conductivity of the water.
The authors motivated by the technological
affordances of mobile devices and the believe
that water level management approach would
help in reducing the home power consumption
and as well as water overflow.
The research result was a flexible, economical
and easy configurable system designed on a low
cost PIC16F84A microcontroller to determine and
senses water level globally.

DESIGN
The system performs the sensing level and
control activities without the manual
observation and attention in the site. Being an
automatic system unavailing manpower and
providing information for long period of time.
The automatic water level control system has
the following main components
 SENSOR UNIT
The sensor assembly consists of four
aluminum wires arranged at 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and
full levels in the tank. The dry ends of these
wires are connected to analog input pins A1,
A2, A3 and A4 of the Arduino respectively. A
fifth wire is positioned at the bottom of the
tank.
 CONTROL UNIT

The basic operation of control unit is the

controlling water pump by arduino which is
programmed by particular program. Water
pump are connected with an output pin of
arduino via a relay circuit which is connected
with a transistor.
 BUZZER

It is an electronic used to give alarm sound as

it is programmed
 LIQUID CRYSTAL
DISPLAY (LCD)
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen is an
electronic display module and find a wide range
of applications. A 16x2 LCD display is very basic
module and is very commonly used in various
devices and circuits.
A 16X2 LCD means it can display 16 characters
per line and there are 2 such lines. In this LCD
each character is displayed in 5x7 pixel matrix.
This LCD has two registers, namely, Command
and Data.
The command register stores the command
instructions given to the LCD. A command is an

 SIMULATION
Using PROTEUS software, now it is possible to
draw a complete circuit for a arduino based
system and then tests it.
With PCB layout the software now also offering
automatic of both component placement and
track routing, getting the design into the
computer can often be the most time consuming
element of the exercise.
So when we simulate our program which had
written in arduino C language, and as we wrote
before that will show the water level on the LCD
and will turn - on and off- the pump unit according
to this value
