Off Grid Digital Water Tank Meter

My project is an off-grid digital water meter designed to replace the traditional analogue water meters installed in most rural water tanks. My design aims to overcome some of the shortcomings faced by similar water tank meter products on the market, most notably the lack of compatibility with areas without regular power or internet connection.
