Generally, water stored in overhead tank is wasted due to over flow ,when the tank
is full. Water level alarm using micro-controllers like 8051 and AVR are shown in
previous articles.This article shows simple circuits of water level indicator with
alarm.

Working
The circuit is designed to indicate three levels of water stored in the tank: low
but not empty, half and full but not overflowing.
When there is no water in the tank, all the LEDs are off as an indication that
the tank is completely empty.
When water level increases and reaches M2, the contacts M1 and M2 get
shorted as water acts as a conducting medium between M1 and M2.
This will turn on the transistor Q1 and the Green LED starts to glow. As the
water level continues to rise and reaches half the tank, M3 will come into
contact with water and receives a small voltage from M1.
As a result, Q2 is turned on and Yellow LED will glow. When the water in the
tank rises to full tank, M4 is also shorted with M1 and both Q3 and Q4 will turn
on.
The Red LED glows and also an alarm is made by the buzzer as an indication
that the tank is full and the water pump or motor can be turned off.
Note :This circuit does not show a buzzer.Connect a Buzzer,resistor and transistor
in series and connect this in parallel to the last LED.

Simple Water Level Indicator with Alarm (3 Tested Circuits) https://www.electronicshub.org/water-level-alarm-using-555-timer/
Working
The circuit uses a 555 timer in astable mode with R1=22k ohms, R2= 570 ohms
and C1=1 uF. The frequency of the given astable circuit is around 62 Hz.
The two probes which are shown in the circuit should be kept at the high level for
the water. The distance between the probes should be less than a few centimetres
to ensure that the conduction between the probes will take place when water is
touched to these probes.
When the water level rises to the height of the probes, then the 555 circuit will get
enabled and the output of the 555 timer produces a square wave output with a
frequency of about 62 Hz. This output is given to the buzzer.
The logic Implemented in this circuit is, 555 timer is enabled when its reset pin is
connected to logic high. But initially it is connected to ground. When the water level
is maximum this pin is enabled and this drives the 555 timer into astable mode.

Wherever your indicator is required from that place to the tank you need to
run the tank wires

I have assembled the first circuit and powered with 12 Volt supply; On switching
on the circuit all the led are dimmly lit. Why it is so happening. Kindly enlighten
me and give me the rectification for this.

first of all, have you modified the circuit to work with 12V??
if yes, then try to connect 10kΩ resistors to all the base of the transistors to
ground.

NO.
The amount of current flowing through the water is very low. So, you won’t
even feel it.
