BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art. [0003] Home used water tanks are generally installed on top of the roof. Due to this it is not always possible to check quality of water in the tank and level of water available. Dust and dirt are mixed with the water or sometimes animals like monkey or birds make a dip into the water thus hampering quality of water stored inside the water tank or similar water source. Hence, the quality and purity of water is not always guaranteed. Also, content of chlorine is not always known to user and excess chlorine content can cause many diseases. Hence, controlling chlorine contents in daily use water is essential. Temperature of the tank water is also an important factor to decide whether the user needs to switch on the geyser or not. Many times, user switch on the geyser assuming that tank water is cool. This leads to unnecessary energy consumption.
[0004] Existing solutions can include method and system to switch on and off geyser through mobile application. Another solution can include checking water depth and impurities dissolved in water. Other solutions can include checking dissolved chemical contaminants and temperature of water. However, the above solutions can lack monitoring of water source and displaying images of the water source for water quality, purity, temperature, and quantity simultaneously along with determining requirement for turning geyser and similar heating element. [0005] There is a need to overcome above mentioned problems of prior art by bringing a solution that facilitates in determining and monitoring water quality, water quantity, temperature, and purity inside water source simultaneously. The

solution also facilitates in displaying images of the water source to one or more mobile computing devices associated with one or more users and alerting the one or more user for detection of impure water and any unwanted interruption detected on surface of the water source. The solution helps the one or more users to decide when to turn on geyser and similar heating element. Also, solution enables in determining chlorine content dissolved inside water and can help the one or more users to make necessary decision for controlling excess chlorine in the water (if any) for kitchen usage.
