Abstract

This paper aims to transform rural communities' use of water resources. Modern sensor technologies are integrated into an all-inclusive system to enable real-time monitoring and prompt identification of anomalies and contamination. Well water information is more accurate and reliable when entered automatically, providing solid groundwork for informed decision-making. The technology combines user-friendly interfaces with a proactive maintenance schedule to enable communities to maintain the longevity of their wells and the quality of their water. This work not only tackles the difficulties associated with managing well water in rural areas but also improves the general well-being and environmental preservation of these communities by endorsing sustainable water management techniques.
