XI. CONCLUSION&FUTURE SCOPE
The goal of this article was to construct a basic automatic
water level monitor and controller that was low-cost and
easy to use. This can be used to monitor the levels of various
liquids and oils in corporations and chemical labs, as well as
water tanks. We used a transistor as a basis for this system,
which was coupled to a relay, as well as low-cost local
components. We aimed to design a system that would have
widely available components and when coupled, would
reduce water waste. The system is completely automated.
As a result, it does not necessitate professional support. It's
not prohibitively expensive. With this technique, future
research and development will be a lot easier. Although it is
a project, we anticipate that with some modification, a fair
range of applications will emerge.
The project's primary goal is to develop a system that is innovation, circuit analysis, and digital control systems.This project gave

customizable, cost-effective, and simple to set up to reduce
