INTRODUCTION

 Leaks from the pumps and the pumps fittings are the
significant source of water wastage.
 A leaking or corroded underground pipe is a certain sign of
major problem with in the residential plumbing system.
 Some leaks are obvious, unfortunately, underground pipes
can be difficult to detect , because they often produce no
water that can be easily viewed above the ground. so
source of the leaks cannot be detected easily.

 As a result liters of fresh drinking water are lost. In order
to overcome this problem, we are making an AUTOMATIC
WATER SAVING PUMP.

OBJECTIVES

 Presently one of the major problem we are facing is water scarcity.

 In rural areas we are mainly depending on pipe lines for water supply.
 During summer season , the demand for water increases and the situation
gets worse when pipe lines carrying water gets damaged.
 A Water saving pipe is a pipe equipped with an automatic closing valve
capable of cutting off water supply automatically when the pipe gets
damaged without aid from an operator.

 The objective of our project is to build a pipe that has a
valve which closes automatically whenever the pipe gets
damaged and leakage of water takes place.

METHODOLOGY
 We are using two pipes. One pipe is enclosed in another
pipe and the two pipes are separated (2 mm apart) by an
insulator.
 A battery is used and its terminals are connected to the
inner and outer pipes. A relay is also connected to the
pipes similarly.
 When the pipes get damaged the outer pipe touches the
inner pipe and it creates a closed circuit. This switches
‘on’ the relay.

 A motor is controlled by the relay and when the relay is switched ON,
the motor starts rotating. A belt is coupled to the motor and the
valve. Due to the rotation of the motor, the belt tightens the valve
and water flow is cut off.
 When the valve is closed completely , a sensor detects it and turns off
the motor.
 We will also use a GSM modem which will send an SMS to a mobile
phone telling us which pipe was damaged so that it can be repaired
later on.
