IOT ENABLED INTEGRATED STORMWATER MANAGEMENT WITH SMART RAINWATER HARVESTING KIT AND PERMEABLE BLOCK
The rapid growth of urban surfaces that do not absorb water has disrupted natural water cycles. This has caused two major problems: frequent city flooding and declining groundwater levels. Traditional drainage systems focus on getting rid of water instead of conserving resources. Standard rainwater harvesting often does not address the initial "first-flush" pollution. This research presents a governance framework that uses IoT technology to actively manage stormwater with a "dual-stream" approach. Based on an ESP32 microcontroller, the system uses real-time turbidity sensing to tell apart high-quality rainwater for storage and contaminated runoff for aquifer recharge.
