ABSTRACT

The water meter is used as a gadget in order to calculate water consumption. This gadget use a water flow and shows an arithmetic result with a mechanical number counter. In practice, The operator manually checks the number counter periodically. The operator makes records of the number displays by the water meter for water consumption. This process takes time and is Vulnerable to human error. In this article, we suggest an Android mobile device that calculates water consumption for the customer in real time. By owning applications that support Android smartphones, Customers can have access to their water bill at any time by creating their own account. when the subscriber account is created, the subscriber can take a picture of the water meter that will then be sent to the server for processing, and the level of consumption and any alerts will be definitely transferred to the user on his smartphone according to the picture sent. absolutely, the client will use this application by connecting to the internet.
