This project gives an outline for the development of an information system based on the existing systems with the utilization of some sensors and IOT. The cradle of this project is based on methodology of IOT. Water level in a dam needs to be maintained effectively to avoid complications. The quantity of water released is hardly ever correct resulting in wastage of water and it is impossible for a man to precisely control the gates without knowledge of exact water level and water inflow rate. We have developed a mechatronics based system. We have designed a system in which real time things are interconnected to web. Water level contactless Ultrasonic sensor is placed in tub connected through Arduino UNO to serve the same purpose automatically and forward the status to it. This system detects the level of water and estimate the water inflow rate in a tub and thereby control the Solenoid valve using IOT in a real-time basis. The water level is analysed using this sensor and updated in the web server using IOT module connected to the Arduino UNO. Arduino unit checks that input and upload the status of water level on web. Keywords: IOT (Internet of Things), Mechatronics, Ultrasonic sensor, Arduino UNO, Solenoid valve.
