Abstract:
Pakistan has one of the highest population growth rates in Southeast Asia.
According to United Nation this year population of Pakistan to reach 403 million
by 2050. Pakistan ranks third among countries facing major water shortages
according to International Monitory Fund (IMF). To improve water crises, we need
a mechanism to analyze water consumption behavior at domestic level and forecast
future water usage in presence of smart metering in domestic level. This research
focuses on development of Internet of Things Infrastructure to gather and analyze
water consumption behavior of households.
Internet of Thing has taken the world into new level since its idea being
conceptualize, connecting everything to internet using wireless technology. IoT is
the organization and network of interconnected devices, objects and items
incorporated with sensors to collect data and communicate with each other. In this
research, Internet of Thing Kit is proposed to record wirelessly the amount of water
consumed by household at micro level. The recorded data will help to predict future
water demands of households.
