IoT -Driven Water Management Solution for Sustainable Development in Residential Areas

The RFID-based water smart meter combines RFID technology with digital water meters to improve accuracy and efficiency in water consumption measurement and billing. The conventional meters have problems such as manual reading mistakes and absence of real-time monitoring. The system allows for automated data collection, monitoring real-time water flow through sensors and associating meters with user accounts for accurate billing. RFID tags authorize use, track data, and send it to a cloud platform for remote use. This enhances accuracy of bills, minimizes labor, protects against unauthorized usage, and helps in conservation initiatives. Scalability of the system enables smooth incorporation into smart city infrastructures and encourages sustainable water management.
