Abstract :
As a developing nation and as the second most populous country in the world, India faces unique problem that require unique solution. One such problem is that of traditional waste management systems like periodic and routine clearing by the various civic bodies like the municipal corporation. But even though these routine maintenances are carried out, it is often seen that garbage overflowing from bins. This happens because as of now there is no system in place that can monitor the garbage bins and indicate the same to the corporation. In addition to this Water is one of the most important natural resources. Being used for various domestic and industrial purposes, there is a need to distribute the amount of water. Thus different garbage bins in different locations within the city can form a dynamic multi hop network that can provide the information to any local corporation office and at the same time to the head office as well. Hence if the local bodies are not performing the maintenance properly the head office will know the information almost instantaneously. Hence it can also act as an automatic double check on the part of the government authorities as well. Here each garbage bin is fitted with the Adhoc transceiver for communication, a sensor for monitoring the level of garbage in the bin. Water is distributed to different areas at different times by opening and closing the respective solenoid valves. The whole process can be done automatically with the help of the microcontroller and without any human intervention which results in faster and accurate process due to the presence of in built ADC. Thus the water distribution can be done automatically.
