Automatic Public Tap Control System Using IR Sensor to Prevent Wastage of Water
Abstract
Now-a-days the usage of water has exceeded in metros and in rural areas due to growth in population. The project automatic public tap control to prevent wastage of water is very useful to prevent excessive water flowing from taps. Mostly we come across this kind of situation at public taps. Once the container is filled, no one takes care to close the tap .To avoids these leakages and to utilize the groundwater coming from public taps in an efficient way we have designed an excellent system. Here we are designing project IR based automatic public tap control is used to prevent wastage of water from public taps.
A water cooler or water dispenser is a device that dispenses water. It acts as a vending machine that holds and dispenses in small amount. Whenever it senses any container automatically it fills it with water. This research is a design and implementation of an automatic sensor water tap for hand washing. The work aimed to switch ON and OFF a water tap automatically without the need of turning it manually. It employs a Infrared (IR) Sensor which has a maximum sensitivity of about 3m. The sensor detects the presence of a user within its viewing range and responds by giving a high at its output. The automatic sensor water tap incorporates a microcontroller which was programmed and turns ON the tap automatically whenever the sensor senses the user’s hand, and turns OFF when the hand is withdraw.
