Abstract

The earth is known as "Blue Planet" as 71 % of the Earth's surface is covered with water. However, earth has an abundance of water, but unfortunately; only, a small percentage (0.3%) of water is eligible for use by humans. The other 99.7 % is in the oceans, soils, icecaps, and floating in the atmosphere. Most of the water used by humans comes from rivers. Water is the most valuable natural resource essential for living. Its basic human need in all economic operations like generation of power, agriculture, industries, and mining are all critical economic areas. Water supplies are under severe strain. With the population increase, the requirement for water from competing economic sectors is increased.Similarly, even electricity is very essential commodity of our lives and its generated using the water, which has gained equal importance as water as we need electricity to run various technologies in our day-to-day life, so the conservation of water plays a vital role in the development of the society and therefore every citizen is responsible for the conservation of these resources.


Therefore, information technology methods and internet communication technologies (ICT) play in water resources managing to limit the excessive waste of fresh water and to control and monitor water pollution. In this paper, a mobile app is built using the internet of things (IoT) as a communication technology that controls the preservation of the available amount of water and not wastes it by homeowners.
