Problem Statement

In the current situation there're:

• More than 156 litres of water is used in a single household.
• An increase in population growth yet the water amount is same.
• An increase in emission of greenhouse gas due to increase in energy usage for pumping and supply of the water.

Solution

• By use of IoT devices we created a Me-prototype which is used to monitor consumption and leakages.
• Through this we are able to inform the consumer to minimize on water usage which coherently lead to less energy being used.

🏁 Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

What things you need to install the software and how to install them.

Give examples

Installing

A step by step series of examples that tell you how to get a development env running.

Say what the step will be

Give the example

And repeat

until finished

End with an example of getting some data out of the system or using it for a little demo.
