Project Description:
The Water Billing Management System is a mini project developed using database management system (DBMS) concepts to automate and manage the billing process of water usage for households or commercial establishments. This system allows users (admin or staff) to efficiently record customer details, track water consumption, generate monthly bills, and manage payments.
This project demonstrates the use of relational database design and SQL operations such as insertion, deletion, updation, searching, and report generation. It is aimed at reducing manual errors and improving billing accuracy and transparency.
Key Features:
Customer registration and management
Monthly water usage entry
Automatic bill generation based on consumption
Payment tracking and history
Admin dashboard for managing records
Secure and organized data storage using SQL
Technologies Used:
Front-end (optional): Python with Tkinter / Java / HTML-CSS (if GUI or web-based)
