Need Help Measuring water volume

12 Jul 2016

I am a relative newcomer to arduino, but I need to make a display in the house which will tell me how much water is stored in my water tanks (max 15,000 litres) 30 meters from the house, I think the best method would be to use differential pressure and transmit the reading by wi-fi to an LCD screen in the house. Has anyone done this before? Can anyone help?

Hmm, could you mount an ultrasonic distance sensor under the lid of the container (assuming the water doesn't reach the top ).. then use that to measure how far away the water is?

You can find the height of the water by any method stated above but to find out the volume you need to take care of the structure of the container.... and for that you need to calculate the volume of the structure by using Integration (Calculus..)
