Water Level Control Design

This paper shows an overview of the materials needed to design a water level controller in our homes.

 

INTRODUCTION

 

1.1   BACKGROUND OF STUDY

Water is essential to life as far back as the creation of man, the only source of water were the streams and rivers, later on water was gotten from the ground after digging up to  about fifteen feet or more which is called the well water system.

Well water is an excavation or structure created in the ground by digging, driving, boring or drilling to access water underground. 

 

The well water is drawn by an electric submersible pump or a mechanical pump (e.g. from a water-pumping windmill). it can also be drawn up using containers, such as buckets that are raised mechanically or by hand. Although not essential, a storage tank with a pressure of 40-60psi is usually added to the system (after the pump), so the pump does not need to operate constantly.

Wells can vary greatly in depth, water volume and water quality. Well water typically contains more minerals in solution than surface water and may require treatment to soften the water

by removing minerals such as arsenic, iron and manganese.

Clean water is one of the most important needs of our bodies. It is a sad fact that something as essential as clean drinking water is no longer free to humans. Unsafe water is not just a third world problem. In fact safe drinking water is very expensive, especially in industrially developing countries, Such as Nigeria. According to World Bank Report inadequate sanitation and clean water provision remain in terms of the scale of human suffering the most serious of all environmental problems (World Bank 1992).

 

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

The aims and objectives of this project were to;

Minimize the waste of water

Save time

Ensure constant flow of water round the clock

Prevent the pumping machine from over working

To save the user the stress of switching the pumping machine ON and OFF

Keep the environment clean and dry and also to ensure the ecological protection .

 

JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY

The automatic water level controller came into existence as a result of human error and inconsistence that is associated with manual re-operated water pumping machine. This is because it takes time for an individual who is manually operating the water pumping machine to turn OFF the pumping machine and this may cause water spillage and also at times the individual might not know that the water has drop so low until the tank is completely empty. This was the problems that lead to the development of the automatic water level controller. Win penny acknowledged this case when he argued that the

failure to treat water as a scarce commodity lies at the heart of the problem. (Winpenny1992). He therefore called for water policy planning that is comprehensive. 

1.4   SCOPE OF THE WORK

The purpose of this work is to ease the stress of the users/operator switching the pumping machine ON and OFF and also save water and the pumping machine from over working.
