During rainy seasons, roads are usually flooded with sewage wastes and overflowing of garbage cans. People will also suffer from frequent power cuts and voltage fluctuation problems. The objective of this project is to discover these problems before they create a nuisance to the public. In the existing model, there is no mechanism to detect the power failure or to monitor the overflow of drainage automatically. The traditional method of testing only includes ultrasonic sensors to detect the varying levels of waste in the sewers. In the proposed system, we introduce the concept of integrating the information obtained from the Flow sensor, Level sensor and Current sensor using microcontroller PIC18f4550 associated with the ZigBee module. The gathered data is transferred by the ZigBee module to the central server. This information can be used to notify the Corporation authorities using GSM services. Our paper proposes a less expensive system for real time monitoring of drainage, transformers and dustbins.
