Water has become the most commercial products of the century. This may sound bizarre, but true. The stress on the multiple water resources is a result of a multitude of factors. On the one hand, the rapidly rising population and changing lifestyles have increased the need for fresh water. If opportunity costs were taken into account, it would be clear that in most rural areas, households are paying far more for water supply than the often-normal rates charged in urban areas. Also, if this cost of fetching water which is almost equivalent to 150 million women days each year, is covered into a loss for the national exchequer, it translates into a whopping 10 billion rupees per year.
OBJECTIVES
Our water vending machine or a water ATM machine is designed to be used as a self-service device, such as an ATM machine. The machine, which dispenses purified water, provides 24X7 access to safe drinking water at a very low price. It also Reduce Single-Use Plastic Dependence. The use of single-use plastics is harmful to the environment and future generations. With such a machine, you will allow people to refill existing bottles and containers.
The various objectives of this project work are:
- To develop low cost water vending machine.
- To avoid wastage of water.
- To differentiate the different types of coins and on that basis we have to provide mineral water to users at low cost.
- To study vending machine operation, and different types of control mechanisms and sensors.
- To select appropriate components for proposed system.
- To develop technique for interfacing the two systems.
- To develop and write programmes for the proposed system.
