This document presents a proposal for a GSM-based piped water theft detection system to address the problem of water theft in Uganda. National Water and Sewerage Corporation loses around 30-35% of its total revenue to water theft such as illegal connections and meter tampering. The proposed system will detect water theft and alert authorities via SMS. It will be designed using gathered requirements and simulated over six months to help NWSC improve water provision in Uganda.

GSM BASED PIPED WATER THEFT DETECTION SYSTEM BY KHABUSI SIMON PETER BU/UG/2012/67 Supervisor: MR. ALUNYU ANDREW 3/24/2020 1
Background In urban areas, there is tremendous need of water. Water Corporations play an important role in delivering water to individual families, offices, construction sites, etc. However, research shows that some people illegally connect suction pipes to suck more water to themselves hence depriving others from receiving enough water. Other practices such as meter tampering, meter reversals, meter by-pass, illegal connections and reconnections greatly affect the operation of water supply corporations not only in Uganda, but the entire world as elaborated by Vanda Felbab-Brown in a lecture given on February 20, 2015 at Brookings Mountain West Lecture Series. All these practices are generally termed as water theft. According to researches by Professors, H. A. Gaikwad and P. V. G. Puranik, J. THARANYAA, A.JAGADEESAN and A.LAVANYA, and P. D. B.Madihalli and P. S. S. Ittannavar, shows that town water is supplied at a constant flow rate and hence acts such as illegal connections, illegal tapping interfere with flow rates affecting water distribution. Large sums of money is also lost through such acts. Sources reveal that 30-35% of the total revenue of NWSC is lost through water theft. Despite attemps by NWSC and WALOPU, water theft has remained a menance. 3/24/2020 2
Problem Statement National water and Sewerage Corporation has constantly incurred cases of water theft such as illegal connections and reconnections, meter bypass, meter tampering, meter reversals and vandalism. Despite of all attempts by NWSC, water theft has remained a big challenge due to lack of a dedicated system to solve the problem. 3/24/2020 3
Main Objective To Design and develop a piped water theft detection system that detects water theft and alerts the authorities via an SMS. Specific Objectives 1. To review existing literature and identify the requirements for the design of the GSM based piped water theft detection system. 2. To design a GSM Based piped water theft Detection system. 3. To implement the designed system. 4. To test and validate the system. 3/24/2020 4
Significance and Justification Water is a basic need of life hence its availability and quality is very paramount. When the proposed system is implemented and deployed, it will help NWSC greatly in its service delivery i.e. provision of clean piped water to Ugandans. 3/24/2020 5
Scope Technical Scope The proposed system will be simulated with the help of gathered requirements. The system will be GSM based . Geographical Scope The system will be used in Uganda by NWSC. Time Scope The entire system development will take six months. Limitation This system will be limited to piped water theft prevention. 3/24/2020 6
Methodology Requirements elicitation. This will involve the process of gathering information about the system to be developed and existing systems, and later determining the user and system requirements from this information. i) Data Collection Methods a) Documentary review b) Interviews c) Observation ii) Data Analysis: Data analysis is a means of making sense of data before presenting it in an understandable manner. 3/24/2020 7
System Design The design of GSM based piped water theft detection system will be composed of the circuit design, software design and finally the integrated system design. Circuit design The circuit design shall be designed in proteus. Block diagram 3/24/2020 8
