Abstract

In rural areas, domestic water tank systems typically operate using automated controllers that activate water pumps when the tank is empty. However, during extreme climatic events such as cyclones or storms, prolonged power outages can disrupt the pumping process, leading to severe water crises for households. To address this issue, we propose a Smart Domestic Water Tank Filling System that integrates an ESP8266 microcontroller with internet connectivity and Free Weather API-based weather forecasting. The system periodically retrieves real-time weather data and analyzes forecasts for impending storms or cyclones. Upon detecting adverse weather conditions, the system proactively triggers the water pump at predefined intervals to ensure the tank remains filled before a power failure occurs. This intelligent approach enhances water availability and resilience against unforeseen climatic disruptions. The proposed system improves household water security and optimizes water resource management by making informed pumping decisions based on weather predictions. Through this innovation, rural communities can mitigate the challenges posed by erratic power supply and extreme weather conditions, ensuring a continuous and reliable water supply during emergencies.
