This document describes the design and testing of a mobile rainwater harvester. The harvester uses a 12-layer filtration system to purify rainwater collected from the catchment container. Testing showed the filtered water was less cloudy with no suspended particles, demonstrating the effectiveness of the system. Each filter layer removes different particle sizes. The harvester is portable and can be set up in various locations to provide water in areas with limited access. It is concluded to be an efficient and affordable way to filter rainwater that improves quality of life. Wheels are recommended to be added to increase the mobility of the harvester.

Introduction

The mobile rainwater harvester is a DIY mobile rainwater filter which filters the
rainwater to remove sendiments and particles from the rainwater. With this
rainwater harvester, rainwater can be purified and be used for daily activities such as
watering plants, washing clothes and washing cars. Practicing this method allows
one to conserve earth’s most precious natural resource,water. At the same time, one
can also save money due to lesser water usage from water pipes. This mobile
rainwater harvester has 12 layers of filters to filter out sediments of different sizes.

Methode
The parts of the rainwater harvester were arranged accordingly. The rainwater
catchment container is fixed to the filter system. The water flows into the catchment
container and filtered in filter system. Filtered water it stored in water tank. The tap
is located at the bottom of tank to make sure water stored in tank flows out fast due
to high pressure. An external output is also available in the water tank. All these
features allow the rainwater harvester to function greatly.

Data and discussion


For this project, rainwater was poured into the rainwater catchment container and it
is filtered in the filter system before flowing into water tank. It can be clearly seen
that the rainwater was filtered. The rainwater appeared to be less cloudy and there
were no suspended particles. Each layer of filter in the rainwater harvester filtreed a
specific type of particle. For instance, the third layer is made of small pebbles and it
traps small sediments and dirt. One of the unique features of our Mobile Rainwater
Harvester is that it is a portable and mobile which mean we can install the unit at any
location we want to and easy to transport. We can setup it up at any houses, villages,
factories and even farms. To make it more special we designed this unit with
scalability which mean we can connect many units togather to form a large rain
water catchment an storage which can provide waters to the area with difficulty
water access.

Conclusion
In conclusion, it is proven that this mobile rainwater harvester is very efficient in
filtering rainwater. Mobile rainwater harvester is a easy to be handled device with a
lot of benefits. Filtering rainwater is done easily and it can be moved around the
house for our convenience. The cost to make this harvester is also affordable and the
items to make it can be easily obtained. This mobile rainwater harvester is a must
have item at every house for a better quality of life.

Recommendation
Mobile rainwater harvester is already the best functioning water filter for rainwater.
However to make the rainwater harvester more mobile, wheels can be added to the
bottom of the rainwater harvester to move it around the house compound. Two or
more harvesters can be used to filters a large amount of rainwater at one time.
