Sistema de control y monitoreo de los tanques de reserva de la Junta Administradora de Agua Potable y Saneamiento “Patután”

Abstract

This research was conducted with the objective of implementing a control and monitoring system for the reserve tanks of the “Patután” Drinking Water and Sanitation Administrative Board. The proposed water tank control and monitoring system was developed to optimize water resource management through the implementation of modern technologies to monitor water levels and operating conditions of the tanks in real time. The proposed control and monitoring system is based on the use of industrial-grade sensors capable of measuring water level, pressure, and other key tank parameters in real time. These data are transmitted to a centralized platform that enables remote access to real-time information, allowing for faster and more accurate decision-making. Following the implementation of the system in the water board, it was concluded that the selected equipment such as the Arduino MEGA, ultrasonic sensors, modules, regulated ATX power supplies, Ethernet shields, and 4” Genebre automatic valves enabled the design of a modular, efficient, and scalable system. This selection ensures the operational stability of the control and monitoring system under real working conditions. The system used an Arduino board to execute the main program. In Node-RED, variables were created and a visual environment was integrated using an imported graphical scenario design. This approach optimizes the use of water resources within the water board.
