Smart cities require interactive management of water supply networks and water meters play an important role in such a task. As compared to fully mechanical water meters, electromechanical water meters or fully electronic water meters can collect real-time information through automatic meter reading (AMR), which makes them more suitable for smart cities applications. In this paper, we first study the design principles of existing water meters, and then present our design and implementation of a self-powered smart water meter. The proposed water meter is based on a water turbine generator, which serves for two purposes: (i) to sense the water flow through adaptive signal processing performed on the generated voltage; and (ii) to produce electricity to charge batteries for the smart meter to function properly. In particular, we present the design considerations and implementation details. The wireless transceiver is integrated in the proposed water meter so that it can provide real-time water flow information. In addition, a mobile phone application is designed to provide a user with a convenient tool for water usage monitoring.

Currently, the recording of water usage is still done manually. A more practical and efficient recording system for water usage is needed. In this paper, a water meter data logger system has been designed. This system consists of a water meter device and a smartphone application. Communication between the water meter device and smartphone via a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connection. The water meter device uses the Wemos D1 Mini Module as a controller and flow sensor to find out the amount of water used. Data received by the smartphone from the water meter device will be processed and entered into the smartphone database (SQLite). From the test results, the water meter device can calculate water usage with an average error of 0.2957. Water usage data can be stored in a database on a smartphone. The distance of the wireless connection range between the water meter device and the smartphone is 37 meters without a barrier and 16 meters with a barrier.
