1. A device for determining water level and assessing water consumption at a borewell, said device comprising:
a tapping mechanism coupled to a top metal cover of the borewell, said tapping mechanism configured to, on actuation, impact on the metal cover of the borewell to generate
a first sound wave that travels through a cavity of the borewell;
a sound detector coupled to the top metal cover of the borewell, said sound detector configured to detect a second sound wave associated with reflection of at least a part of the first sound wave with a body of water, wherein, upon detection of the second sound wave, the sound detector is configured to generate a first data packet pertaining to the impact on the casing of the borewell;
a computing device configured to receive the first data packet, said computing device comprising a processor operatively coupled with a memory, said memory storing instructions executable by the processor to: enable, from received the first data packet, determination of at least one water level parameter of the body of water; and
a flow sensor coupled with an outlet pipe of the borewell, said outlet pipe adapted for flow of water from the borewell, wherein the flow sensor is configured to generate a second data packet pertaining to flow of water in the outlet pipe, and wherein the computing device is configured to receive the second data packet and, upon receipt of the second data packet, enable determination of at least one water flow parameter of the water flowing in the outlet pipe.
