Water is the most essential source of living. Millions of life has been affected in the past and it still continues to do so in many parts of the world due to scarcity of water. Nevertheless, we do at times become careless and waste a large amount of water in our everyday use. Sometimes, a large quantity of water goes to waste due to leakage problem in the bathroom or the kitchen tap. In order to control this problem, an electronic device called “H2Orb” has been designed.

It functions pretty simple. The device is attached to the water valve behind the toilet. A single float sensor hangs inside the toilet tank. Whenever there is a leak, the device automatically shuts off the water and alerts the user about the leak by sending an immediate alarm via the LCD screen attached on the device.

The H2Orb is operated on a single 3V lithium coin battery. It’s a good idea to own this device and save this precious resource from being scarce in the future. This is a very minimal contribution towards the environment that one can easily do from their home itself.
