This is a cool project you can build with the trigBoard. Basically just an IoT water level detector. If there's a leak, flood, or even if it rains, get a push notification immediately!! Best part is that the trigBoard uses such little current, that the battery will last for a very long time.
Here's the diagram for hooking up the probe:
