3. PROBLEM
STATEMENT
People often observe water tank levels by physical inspection
methods. Since water tanks are mostly placed on roof tops there is a chance
for the observer to slip resulting in loss of lives. Thus, there is a need of a
device which monitors the level of the water tank arises.

5. Water tank over
flow deduction
Problems associated
with over flow
• Wastage of water
• Depletion of ground water
• Creates marshy surfaces.
• Slippery areas.
Existing
methods
• Physical inspection.
• Flow sensor method.
Problems
with old
methods
• Slipping.
• Not suitable for apartments.
• Poor overflow prediction

New technology
• Prediction of overflow.
• Alarm.
• No physical inspection.
Advantages
of new
method
• SMS alerts.
• Automatic off.
• Level tracking.
