NIT Andhra Pradesh develops WiFi controller for smart rainwater harvesting

NIT Andhra Pradesh students have developed a WiFi-mounter microcontroller that allows for smart rainwater harvesting.

NIT Andhra Pradesh students have developed a ‘Wi-Fi mounted Microcontroller’ that can integrate sensors for smart rainwater harvesting. This system can automate the process of water storage, reduction in water-borne disease and efficient storage. The National Institute of Technology students from Team LinkLer have also won the prestigious ‘India Innovation Challenge Design Contest 2019’ (IICDC), which was organized by US-based Texas Instruments, Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. The contest featured more than 18,000 teams with a total of nearly 75,000 students from across India taking part. Highlighting the ecosystem created by the Institute to support such innovative projects, Prof. CSP Rao, Director, NIT Andhra Pradesh, said, “I would congratulate the team for their collective efforts for making a sustainable solution with interdisciplinary contributions. The future holds the stage for ‘Deep Tech based solutions for sustainable ecosystem’.”
