Abstract

Borewell accidents have been a serious and recurring safety problem in India, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas where open or abandoned borewells remain uncovered and accessible to young children. Conventional rescue operations depend on heavy machinery and manual digging of parallel tunnels, a process that can take anywhere from twelve to seventy-two hours and often puts the child at further risk due to soil collapse, oxygen depletion, and toxic gas exposure. This paper presents the design and implementation of an IoT-based automated borewell rescue system intended to address these limitations. The proposed system uses an Arduino Mega 2560 as the primary controller, combined with an ESP32-CAM module for real-time video streaming, an MQ-135 sensor for toxic gas detection, a DHT11 sensor for temperature and humidity monitoring, an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor for depth measurement, and a pulse sensor for monitoring the heartbeat of the trapped child. A DC gear motor and rope-pulley mechanism lower the rescue unit into the borewell, while a servo-controlled harness secures the child for safe upward extraction. Sensor data and live video are transmitted to a smartphone application through the Blynk IoT platform over Wi-Fi, and a SIM800L GSM module sends automatic SMS alerts to the rescue team and family members. Prototype testing on a simulated borewell of fifteen feet depth demonstrated successful detection, monitoring, and extraction within approximately four minutes, confirming the feasibility of the proposed approach for real-world deployment.

Full Article/Conclusion

The developed IoT-based rescue robot provides an effective, rapid alternative to traditional excavation. By integrating multimodal telemetry with GSM redundancy and video monitoring, the system drastically lowers operation time from days to minutes.
