MIRA is an advanced tracking and monitoring solution for the Coimbatore water supply network. With rapid urbanization, it has become essential to ensure the efficient distribution of water resources. MIRA enables real-time tracking, monitoring, and management of the city's water supply infrastructure, ensuring that water is distributed evenly and efficiently to all regions of Coimbatore.
The app provides a user-friendly platform for both government officials and citizens to track the status of water supply, identify issues like leaks, shortages, or blockages, and optimize water management. MIRA serves as a bridge between water authorities and the public, providing transparency and insight into the water distribution system.
- Supply Status Updates: Monitor the current status of water supply across different areas of Coimbatore. Users can check whether water is being distributed, delayed, or interrupted in specific regions.
- Water Flow Data: View detailed information on water flow rates, pressure levels, and distribution schedules for each zone.
- Supply Interruptions: Track and receive alerts for any disruptions in the water supply, such as maintenance work, power outages, or emergency repairs.
- Interactive Map: Visualize the entire Coimbatore water supply network on an interactive map. The map displays pipelines, water tanks, treatment plants, and other critical infrastructure.
- Zone-Specific Monitoring: Filter and view water supply data based on geographic zones or neighborhoods, allowing citizens to focus on their local area and government officials to manage specific regions efficiently.
- Color-Coded Indicators: Use color-coded markers to quickly identify areas with ongoing water supply, low pressure, or interruptions.
- Leak Detection Alerts: MIRA uses sensors and data from the network to detect possible leaks in real-time, notifying relevant authorities of potential issues.
- User-Generated Reports: Citizens can report issues such as leaks, burst pipes, or supply irregularities directly from the app, helping authorities respond quickly to problems.
- Status Tracking for Reports: Once an issue is reported, users can track its resolution status, ensuring transparency in the management and repair process.
- Water Usage Reports: The app provides data on daily, weekly, and monthly water consumption for different areas, helping users and authorities optimize water usage.
- Demand Forecasting: Based on historical data and real-time inputs, the app can forecast water demand trends, allowing for better resource planning and management.
- Consumption Comparisons: View and compare water usage across different regions to identify areas with higher or lower demand, guiding policy and infrastructure development.
- Supply Alerts: Receive real-time notifications for water supply interruptions, delays, or shortages in your area.
- Maintenance Alerts: Stay informed about scheduled maintenance work or infrastructure upgrades that may temporarily affect the water supply.
- Emergency Notifications: Receive emergency alerts in the event of critical water supply issues such as contamination, large-scale leaks, or natural disasters.
- IoT-Based Sensors: MIRA integrates with IoT sensors placed throughout the water supply network to gather real-time data on water flow, pressure, and quality.
- Remote Monitoring: Water authorities can remotely monitor the condition of pipelines, tanks, and other key infrastructure, reducing the need for manual inspections and improving response times.
- Feedback System: Citizens can provide feedback on water supply quality and overall satisfaction, helping authorities maintain a high standard of service.
- Community Alerts: Users can share supply updates with neighbors, helping create a community-based monitoring system.
- Water Conservation Tips: The app offers water conservation tips based on the user's consumption patterns, encouraging sustainable water usage.
- Mobile Application: Built using Flutter for cross-platform support on both Android and iOS devices, ensuring accessibility for all users.
- Backend: Node.js and Express handle the backend logic, including user authentication, data collection, and reporting. The backend is connected to a MongoDB database for scalable storage of real-time water supply data and user reports.
- Data Visualization: Google Maps API is used for the interactive map, with custom overlays for displaying water supply network data. Data visualization libraries like Chart.js or D3.js are used to represent water usage and flow statistics.
- IoT Integration: MIRA integrates with MQTT and HTTP protocols to communicate with IoT sensors placed in pipelines, water tanks, and treatment plants, allowing real-time monitoring of network health.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Water supply authorities install IoT sensors across key infrastructure points in the Coimbatore water network. These sensors collect real-time data on water flow, pressure, and potential issues, sending the data to the MIRA backend.
- Data Visualization: The data is visualized on an interactive map within the app, allowing both authorities and citizens to view the status of the water supply in different zones.
- Issue Reporting: If users notice an issue, they can report it through the app, triggering notifications to the relevant authorities. The system tracks the status of the report and updates users on the resolution process.
- Notifications and Alerts: Users receive real-time alerts on any changes to their water supply, such as interruptions, leak detections, or maintenance schedules, ensuring they stay informed.
- Download and install MIRA from the Google Play Store or App Store.
- Create an administrator account and link IoT sensor data to the app’s backend.
- Use the interactive map to monitor the water supply network in real-time, managing disruptions and overseeing water distribution efficiently.
- Install the app from the Google Play Store or App Store.
- Enter your location to receive personalized water supply updates and notifications.
- Report any issues or interruptions you experience, and track the resolution status through the app.
- Improved Water Management: Authorities gain real-time insights into water distribution, making it easier to manage resources and detect issues early.
- Enhanced Transparency: Citizens have direct access to water supply information, helping to build trust between the public and water authorities.
- Optimized Resource Usage: By analyzing water usage patterns, authorities can better allocate resources, avoid waste, and plan for future water demand.
- Faster Issue Resolution: With real-time reporting and remote monitoring, authorities can respond to water supply issues more quickly, minimizing disruptions for citizens.
- AI-Based Leak Prediction: Use machine learning algorithms to predict potential leaks or infrastructure weaknesses before they occur, based on sensor data trends.
- Expanded Network Coverage: Increase the sensor network to cover more areas of the city, including underserved regions, ensuring equal access to water supply data.
- Citizen Dashboard: Introduce a web-based dashboard where citizens can view more detailed water supply data and historical reports for their area.
