Description
This project uses the IC 555 timer to detect the presence of water and trigger an alert. When water comes in contact with the sensing probes, it completes the circuit and activates the 555 timer, producing a sound through a buzzer or speaker. Powered by a 9V battery and built on a breadboard, the circuit uses resistors (1k, 100k) and capacitors (10µF, 103) to control sensitivity and timing. It is a simple and effective solution for water leakage detection and safety applications.
