Design, Fabrication, Evaluation of the Flood Detection Device
ABSTRACT Flood is one of the disastrous phenomena that caused a lot of deaths to some other uninformed area in the province. The researchers from Negros Occidental High School proposed a study with the objective to construct and develop a flood detection device, present a practical device, and introduce the device to a certain residents in the province that needs to be aware of flood. After the device was constructed, the researchers tested the device in a cup of water. During the testing of device, the researchers encountered a conflict with the shorting of the terminals and sooner determined a solution using an improvised switch. The researchers then concluded that the device was effective, can withstand certain weather for a long period of time, and the materials can be obtain by a number of residents.
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study Flood is one of the natural disasters and often due to the unawareness of the residents within the area. Commonly flooded areas are mostly found in places near seas and rivers, others caused by clogged drainages. A local news article states that “Bacolod City – Flash Flood, spawned by heavy rainfall since Friday, has affected several municipalities in the southern parts of Negros Occidental, according to the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office.”
(www.InterAksyon.com, 2012) Apparently, flood detectors are not often being presented by the government in the province. Since some of the flood detectors that being introduced are expensive, the residents in the province cannot afford the said device. So, the researchers with the goal to make people aware of the flood will be constructing and testing a flood detection device which will provide the availability of materials within the residents’ proficiency in terms of financial expense.
