Abstract: This abstract presents an innovative IoT-based solution for ensuring the safe and efficient addition of chlorine in water storage tanks, mitigating potential harmful effects associated with manual handling. The system employs ultrasonic sensors to continuously monitor the water level in the storage tank and utilizes this real-time data to intelligently control the chlorine dispensing process. The existing challenge of manually adding chlorine in fixed quantities, which can lead to over-chlorination or under chlorination, is addressed through this automated approach. The proposed system offers several advantages over conventional methods. Firstly, it eliminates the guesswork and potential errors associated with manual chlorine addition by adapting the dosage based on the actual water volume in the tank. Secondly, it ensures consistent water disinfection levels, reducing the risk of microbial contamination and the formation of harmful byproducts. Thirdly, it optimizes chlorine usage, leading to cost savings and environmental benefits. Key components of the IoT-based system include ultrasonic sensors for water level measurement, a control unit for data processing and decision-making, and a chlorine dispenser integrated with actuators. These components work in harmony to maintain an appropriate chlorine concentration in the water tank, safeguarding both water quality and public health. Furthermore, the system is designed with remote monitoring and control capabilities, allowing operators to access real-time data and make adjustments remotely. This feature enhances system management efficiency and responsiveness, reducing the need for on-site personnel involvement
