Sewer failure occurs is one of the major problem in urban areas. The major cause of flooding is due to overflow of sewers. Several manholes across residential areas are overloaded due to excess sewage load. This is the main reason for the occurrence of Chennai flood. Inefficient gully pot network is the major reason for the over flooding of mainstream sewage pipes. There is a need for an efficient system design for monitoring a gully pot which is capable of providing required information about sewage block is prior to the occurrence. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been used to monitor the sewer blockages. The blockage will be detected and the detected information has been transmitted to the authority through a GSM and developed in mobile application.
