Automatic Dam Shutter Control

Abstract

Every aspect of our lives is connected with the control systems in some way. Hardware and software designers work together to create control systems. Even with today's sophisticated technology, several dams still use human methods to operate their gates. If anything is done by hand, human flaws and shortcomings will be there. The development of a control system for the "Dam Gate Automation Control System Based on Arduino" is covered in this project. The goals are to design a completely automated dam gate control system using Arduino, propose a water level-based gate opening control system, and manufacture a dam gate control system prototype. With the application of a water level sensor, the opening and closing of the dam gate can be regulated by sending a signal to a servo motor that moves the dam gate. The water level is monitored at various levels, and the gate is closed or opened accordingly.
