Abstract

This Final Year Project (FYP) refers to technical work and report writing experience that is relevant to professional development prior to graduation. One of the Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka requirements for the award of Bachelor of Electronic Engineering (Wireless Communication) is that a student should complete his/her Final Year Project (FYP) and report. In order to that, my Final Year Project (FYP) titled “Solar-Powered Water Tank Observatory System Via GSM (WTOS)”. Water tanks in a building needs to be monitored in order to ensure the consistent flow, capacity, load, volume and supply of water to a building’s water supply system is safely ensured. When the power supply for the water pump is tripped, ( and this happens all too frequently and unpredictably) the water volume/capacity supply/flow to the particular tank will also terminate abruptly. It is common knowledge that water pumps often trip all too frequently and abruptly too. This is an unpredictable scenario and cannot be controlled as it involves electrical load and circuitry. It all happens all too frequently and suddenly without any prior notice, expectation or warning to the administrator of a particular building in which a tank-based water supply system is needed or used. As this scenario is continuous, it will dry out the water volume in the tank without any notice as the demand of water usage is increased by its inherent users. This might jeopardize the reputation of that particular building’s service provider. Therefore, the intelligent Water Tank Volume Monitoring System was invented to monitor the level and volume of water in a particular tank continuously. The alert message which can be preprogrammed in our WTOS will be sent out instantly to the respective building manager or administrator's hand phone, via SMS. In the unpleasant ( and often unlikely ) event of such water volume load capacity incident is being abruptly and unknowingly drained-out, it is detected by our SPWTOS system and sms texts which are highly helpful is sent out. This will help the personnel from maintenance group/crew of a particular building to react quickly to rectify the defect before it reaches to an unpleasant, critical and a confusingly dry stage in terms of a tank’s water volume and predictable/regular water capacity/content inflow.
