A local government or water utility will employ a water tower or pumping facility to ensure that there’s always water available to every home and business connected to it, all day, every day, and at a relatively constant pressure. This isn’t true the world over, though, and in [Sameer]’s home of Rajasthan he has to deal with a particularly onerous problem with the local water supply. Although he is connected to a utility, there is only water available at certain times of day, and not on a reliable schedule or at a particularly high pressure. This causes all kinds of problems, <a href="https://bababuilds.com/blog/esp32-smart-water-meter-diy/" target="_blank">but he was able to employ an ESP32 to solve some of the headaches</a>.</p>

<p>Most of [Sameer]’s neighbors install small pumps on the water main to pull water into reservoirs when it’s available. This creates two major problems, the first of which is that with all these pumps running, they can sometimes pull a vacuum on the water main, which can draw in contaminants and cause cavitation in the pumps. The second is that, if these pu](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/116/076/653/285/188/462/small/a69a65299244cbb5.jpg)
