Abstract: [079] The present invention relates to an Internet of Things enabled system for sustainable water resource management. The system comprises distributed field sensing nodes installed at water sources, storage units, pipelines, consumption points, irrigation zones, and recharge zones for measuring water level, flow rate, pressure, soil moisture, rainfall, groundwater level, and water quality parameters. A local edge control unit receives and validates the sensed data and generates physical control signals for pumps, motorized valves, flow restrictors, irrigation outlets, and recharge diversion devices. A sustainability assessment module determines a water sustainability index based on water availability, demand, leakage condition, quality status, groundwater trend, rainfall input, recharge availability, and reserve requirement. The system detects leakage, prevents tank overflow, avoids pump dry running, restricts unsuitable water supply, controls irrigation according to soil moisture, and diverts excess suitable water for recharge. The invention reduces water wastage and improves sustainable utilization of water resources. Accompanied Drawing [FIGS. 1-2]
