Yes. This is the sort of project folks do with Arduino systems
all the time. Look at the forums on http://arduino.cc/

Arduino is a super low-barrier-to-entry microcontroller development
platform aimed (partly) at education and artists.

As regards the actual core problem, I would also look at Terry
Love's most excellent Pumps and Wells forum. Lots of expertise there
to draw on.
