Water Cleaning Boat For Population Reduction

GRADE 10 - DILIGENCE
I. PROMLEM

 What can be done to reduce the risk of flooding?

 Is it possible to make something that can keep pollutants out from bodies of

water?

 How can water pollutants be removed without the need of manual labor?

II. TITLE

The study is entitled “ Water Cleaning Boat for Population Reduction”

III. RATIONALE

Water pollution is defined as the release of substances into subsurface

groundwater or into lakes, streams, rivers, estuaries, and oceans to the point where the

substances interfere with the beneficial use of the water or with the natural

functioning of ecosystems (Curley and Nathanson, 2010). Clean waterways are

important for a good quality of life for residents located in flood-prone areas. Trash

that is left floating in bodies of water for a long time tends to pile up, leading to

waterways getting clogged. This obstructs water flow, contributing to worse floods

when a typhoon with long and heavy rainfall arrives. The investigators chose to solve

this problem because it can potentially save many lives and government funds for

repairing damaged infrastructure. At least PHP20 million worth of infrastructure was

damaged while 76 villages were affected by the recent flooding that hit Misamis

Oriental province (Ladaga, Provincial Administrator of Cagayan De Oro City, 2022).

This investigation aims to have more places with good living conditions, such as less

water pollution and stable infrastructure.

V. PROCEDURE

Steps in creating Water Cleaning boat for Pollution Reduction:

1. To produce a water-cleaning boat for Pollution Reduction, you must first make

the base for the product to stand on. To make a base, you will need a piece of

Styrofoam that measures 30 cm in length, 20 cm in width, and 2 cm in height.

2. After that, center the twin shaft DC geared motor in the base and glue it to the

center of the rc car tires.

3. Additionally, attach the grip liner to the front and back wheels with glue

4. When creating a mini travelator for the product, also use a grip liner.
 5. Make a little square with a layer on the bottom to use as a little trash can for the

water-cleaning boat for Pollution Reduction.

6. All of the dual shaft dc geared motors should be connected to the 9v rechargeable

battery.

7. Create a water-resistant cover out of thin wood for the batteries and twin shaft dc

geared motors.

Step on testing if the product works:

1. Put the Water Cleaning boat for Pollution Reduction in the water along with the trash.

2. Then, press the power switch.

3. Check to see if the Water Cleaning boat for Pollution Reduction catches floating

trash.

VI. IMPLICATION

In the Philippines, water pollution is a serious environmental problem that endangers

people's health, aquatic habitats, and overall economic growth. The nation's water

resources are crucial for agriculture, industry, and daily living because of its numerous

rivers, lakes, and coastal regions. By cleaning the water and removing the trash and

plastic around it can significantly reduce water pollution.

When our product succeeds, it can bring numerous benefits, not only to the

community but also to our natural environment and the Earth as a whole. Using our

product the plastics and other trash could be pick up easily. It can assist our community

in keeping our Aquatic habitats clean. It can also provide s clean river and lake water that

can support crop irrigation, promote agriculture, and enhance food security. Overall our

device can help to lessen earth water pollution.
