In our present world, the public sometimes neglect simple things. An example of which is throwing garbage in the proper place. If garbage is thrown in other places, it can lead to the clogging of canals and flooding in the streets.Bearing this in mind, people need a constant reminder through advertisements and a device to warn about the impending situation wherein the water reaches the critical level. In the same manner, this device will also control the rising water in the streets. This project is centered on simulation of a warning system.Unlike the frequent dredging and cleaning of canals and drainages, the design, implementation and maintenance is simple. A sensor is connected to a pump, and automatically controls the pump when a certain level is reached. The cost of implementing this system is cheaper compared to the dredging and changing of materials once every five to ten years.With all the benefits cited, this system is fit to replace if not pose as an alternative to other systems for flood prevention/control being used presently.
