Godspower’s final year project, “Automated Water Level Regulator Using GSM”, is an innovation that can help people to pump water into their overhead water tanks by sending a code with their mobile phones. With this innovative idea, people can be in the comfort of their bed rooms and regulate the entrance of water into their overhead tanks using their mobile phones.



Godspower was also one of the selected engineering students that represented the Southeast/South-south zones in the 5th CODET national competition held at the Nigerian Communication Satellite, NICOMSAT, Abuja, on 7th August, 2021, where he was highly commended for his innovation and creativity. The student was prepared for the event by his supervisor, Engr. Uchenna Nwokenkwo and led by Engr. Nkiruka Ogbodo.

Congratulations, but I prefer a pump that will run independently and Incase of malfunction, the pump is automatically shut by a circuit breaker then sends message via email, SMS to owner and technician.
