dc.description.abstractWater plays an important role in our daily lives and also the scarcity of it increasing. Most countries in Africa are facing this kind of problem. Most countries in Africa are facing this kind of problem due to mismanagement and a high illiteracy rate. People are mostly busy and ignorant that they forget to turn off the pump motor when the overhead tank is full. The overhead tank then overflows. Water and power are wasted in this process. This paper presents a solution to this problem. An automatic water pump system is designed to monitor the water level of the water tank and turn the pump on and off due to the water pump level. Also, a water level indicator is built to show the status of the tank to the user. The system consists of three sensors. Two of the sensors are placed at the maximum and minimum levels, respectively. When the sensor does not touch the water at the minimum level, the pump turns ON and turns OFF when the water touches the sensor at the maximum level. The system consists of a CD4001BP which performs the logical operation for the pump to turn ON and OFF.
