The systems have given connections in breadboard as
follows, are will fix DHT11 and Buzzer on Breadboard and
we will give connections, We will give connection DHT11,
Buzzer and Ultrasonic Sensor to NODEMCU.

Here We have Fully Filled the Tank with Water and fixed
Ultrasonic Sensor Near the Tank and we got Alaram Through
Buzzer and we can see the Result of the Project as shown in
the Below Fig.

When Water level is High we will get this output and

Humidity and Temperature are Constant.

First of all the sensors connected to nodemcu controller
will get the humidity, temperature and Water level of the dam.
Our code will collect all these values and upload it to Things
