Abstract

This project is titled Development of Smart Ablution System for Saving Water Using Solar Panel. The lack of water problem in Malaysia especially Selangor shows that continuous supply of water is not guaranteed even though Malaysia has high rainfall. This problem aids the idea of proposing this project. Hence, this project proposed on developing smart ablution system to make it more water saving during ablution and after ablution. The novelty of this project is about automation of water flowing system with solar panel as power source. This project aims to save water resources and implemented the use of renewable energy like solar energy. In order to fulfil the requirement of this project, a smart ablution system with automated water tap and system for reusing the wastewater from ablution activities is built. The main components of developing this project such as solar panel that will be used as power source for the system and ultrasonic sensor that can detect the presence of hands and feet. The research has been done to determine the function and capability of solar panel and ultrasonic sensor. The users must put their hands or feet under the ultrasonic sensor in order to trigger the DC water pump to pump out the water for ablution activities.
