dc.description.abstractWater scarcity in Kenya is a significant issue that cannot be overlooked. Despite numerous efforts made by Water Service Providers in delivering water services to Kenyan residents, the high demand for accessible water across the country remains unmet. In addition, the provider’s ability to meet this demand is further impeded by various obstacles including inadequate control over water usage, insufficient resources to manage and conserve water, and the dilapidated water infrastructure within the Nation. As global water resources rapidly decline, due to the effects of climate change and overuse, it is crucial to take action in conserving this resource. This study looks into the development of a smart water management system using water flow sensors connected directly to the water appliances, Node MCU microcontrollers and a cloud-based application. The system focuses on monitoring household water usage frequency to inform users of their consumption and alert them via mobile notifications of potential water leaks to reduce wastage. Management and control of household water consumption is a positive step towards impacting water conservation efforts.
