Design and Implementation of an IoT Device for Measuring Discharges in Sanitation Networks

Abstract

The monitoring of the discharge points of sewage networks is a complex task mainly due to dispersion and the difficulty of accessing this type of infrastructures. The aim of this work is to develop a device for monitoring discharges in the spillways of sewage networks. The proposed device represents a step forward in the digitization process of these networks, avoiding a high initial investment and ensuring sufficient robustness. The benefit for managers is twofold: it allows for monitoring discharge events and determining the maximum capacity of the network without spillage.
