Abstract: One of the major problems we see today with regard to urban infrastructure is that of sewers, which are used as a pathway to underground waste management facilities. Sewers are a common sight in busy lanes and streets and pose a paramount threat to human, as well as animal life in case they are left open. This may happen due to various reasons (viz. manhole cover theft, negligence etc.). Several newspaper reports in the past year have indicated how open sewers jeopardized the lives of children who were seen playing in the nearby areas surrounding a manhole and ended up falling into it. In addition to this , it is important to monitor certain gas levels inside a sewer and keep a check on the water levels flowing through it. Our paper aims to curb these problems by bringing out a manageable and cost-effective Smart Sewer using what is today one of the most influential technologies – The Internet of Things. A simple, yet noteworthy answer has been proposed and concepts related to it are explained.
