Water scarcity is one of the major problems facing major cities of the world and wastage during transmission has been identified as a major culprit. This is one of the motivations for this research, to deploy computing techniques in creating a barrier to wastage in order to not only provide more financial gains and energy saving but also help the environment and water cycle which in turn ensures that we save water for our future. We presented our research in embedding a control system into an automatic water pump controller through the use of different technologies in its design, development, and implementation. The system used ARDUINO to automate the process of water pumping in an overhead tank storage system and has the ability to detect the level of water in a tank, switch on/off the pump accordingly, and display the status on an LCD screen. This research has successfully provided an improvement on existing water level controllers by its use.
