DAM Control Using Programmable Logic Controller

Dam system provides a very vital role in the economy of a country by providing numerous benefits such as water supply, hydropower, irrigation and flood control. Water supply is very important in our living daily live. Water was being used in our daily routine and also for the agricultural activity. Basically the project is about to design and develop an intelligent system control for the Dam based on MADA (Muda Agricultural Development Authority) irrigation system. The system uses a new method in order to determine and control water level of the Dam in order to avoid flood that causes by the overload water supply from the Dam itself. The system involves the usage of software and hardware combination to make it in a real system. PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) will be used as the core for the system to control the system and communicate with the others devices. Prototype of an actual Dam control based on MADA (Muda Agricultural Development Authority) irrigation system will be developed and controlled using PLC to illustrate the overall system.
