Abstract

A water dam system is a promising system which uses the aid of sensor to detect the real time depth of stream by measuring the height of the buoyant floating on the water. The goal of this project is to design a robotic water dam system which can raise its floodgate or gate after receiving the commands from user. It is designed to detect the water level and notify the user immediately with the aid of notification system hence user could command to raise or close the floodgate. The paper demonstrates a prototype of a working and operational water dam system by means of FPGA platform and its procedures.
