It is Very simple to Measure the water or liquid flow by using water flow sensor YF-S201 with Arduino, this Article describes about the water flow sensor and How the water flow sensor works then how to interface water flow sensor with Arduino.To take control on volume we need to measure, water is essential to every thing, here this article helps you to built water flow meter to measure the volume of water flow through pipelines.
