Introduction
In this research work, it is proposed that the usage of Anti - theft control system for
drinking water supply. By implementing this proposed system in a real time; surely it will
be able to control the drinking water theft in the domestic areas. In urban areas the water
supply to residence and commercial establishments are provided at a fixed flow rate. There
are incidents of excess water drawing by certain customers/users by connecting motor -
pump sets to the water lines which are considered as water theft. With the continuous
economic growth, the water demand of enterprises is also increasing. The monitoring of
water resource for these enterprises can prevent the occurrence of stealing water and
leaking water effectively Prof. D B Madihalli is working as Senior Lecturer, ECE Dept HIT

India the monitoring system of urban water supply has aroused extensive attention in recent
years. Urban water supply networks form the link between drinking water supply and
drinking water consumers. These large - scale networks are vital for the survival of urban
life, for maintaining a healthy level of economic development, and for the continuous
operation of factories and hospitals. In world, urban water supply systems are public
enterprises, usually part of a local government, and the recent increased interest in
privatizing public enterprises has not led to reforms of water systems. Nevertheless, in
about 50 cities in the developing world, the water system either has been privatized or
franchised to a non – governmental entity for its operation and maintenance. In this research
work it is proposed to develop an embedded based remote water monitoring and theft
prevention system by recording the flow rates at the consumer/user end. In order to
implement the proposed water supply system, each consumer end should be provided with
an embedded based water flow monitoring system consisting of a microcontroller to record
the flow rate using a flow sensor and to transmit the same to a remote monitoring station
using control room.
