Water Distribution Network Using IoT Sensors for Residential Areas from Household Rainwater

This research classifies the water distribution network into three segments: the harvesting model, service model, and distribution model. In the initial two modules, rainwater undergoes acidity testing and is subsequently stored in the reservoir after sedimentation, contingent upon its nonacidic nature. The third module is specifically designed for commercial applications, streamlining the process of selling excess water. The study employs three simulators—Proteus, EPANET, and AnyLogic. Proteus is employed to illustrate the circuit design aspect, showcasing the integration of IoT sensors for pH value measurement. EPANET is utilized to control water flow within the distribution network, while AnyLogic is employed to optimize the balance between demand and supply. Through the use of AnyLogic, it was demonstrated that the 70:30 strategy outperforms other approaches by effectively balancing demand and supply.
