Abstract: 

By using water metering system, wastage of water can be avoided due to the charges with respect to use of water. According to past survey, due to water metering system, 10% to 18% water was saved than unmetered houses. Hence, it is clear that, water metering system is one of the part of the contribution to save the water. Instead of water tax, now a day’s water bill is paid according to the usage. But if only one water meter is present for the building having number of flats and all flats are paying equal contribution of the bill, then disputes may occur between them due to the uneven use of water. So, we should provide the water metering system to each flat of the building also. To provide metering system to each flat of the building, study has been done by estimating various methods which will be effective in the any case of pipeline network. So, we have taken the problem as hard as possible to find the solution. By using the Electronics and Programing System, total water consumption is calculated. Due to this solution, we can reduce the dead load of the pipeline networks on the buildings by paying Rs. 2528/- only for one flat. In this study, due to the flow meters, flow has been calculated. By using the program, sum of flow reading has been showed on the LCD screen with help of Microcontroller. Arduino Software has been used for the system, to show the readings of water meters on the computer as an output for monitoring on water supply. Also by using this system, Water Supply Management and leakage control for entire city can be possible. This is one of the better way to solve the disputes of the flat holders in a building efficiently according to the use of water. This will be the good solution for Water Supply Management under the Smart City Project also.
