The development of an area requires adequate supporting resources, particularly concerning water availability. High household water consumption is a significant contributor to water scarcity in residential areas, necessitating solutions for water availability that leverage natural reservoirs and the latest efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly technology. This research aims to calculate the water demand of an area and design IoT-based dual reservoir technology for residential areas to support drinking water supply and distribution. The research method includes quantitative analysis of water demand calculations and experimental testing of IoT-based dual reservoirs. The tools required include the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, breadboard, Arduino IDE, Wi-Fi module, transformer, water discharge sensor, plastic box, data cable, mini pump, on-off switch, valve, pipe, ESP8266 module, water flow sensor, and the Blynk and ThingSpeak applications. The reservoir design utilizes IoT technology, allowing the system to operate more efficiently and effectively. The prototype design for clean water distribution employs gravity-fed tanks and sensors to measure water levels in the reservoirs, enabling automatic replenishment. The results indicate that the population's water needs will continue to increase over time. The dual reservoir system functions effectively, displaying water levels in the three reservoirs and water discharge data on a smartphone. Additionally, the screen display and data logging using the ThingSpeak application operate successfully, with an error rate of less than 5%.
