I. Introduction
With the increasing demand on water supply we tend to get shortage supply on water. As the water
consumption of the people increases, the capacity of dam to sustain the need of people in metro manila and its
nearby cities in terms of time decreases. We came up to an alternative solution to met the needs on water by getting
supply on another source of water. We have an idea to create automatic device that can harvest rain water and
analyze the PH level before processing in filtration. After filtration, the water go into storage that analyze and
maintain the water quality.
II. Significance/ Purpose
The purpose of this project is to create an automation and monitoring in harvesting rainwater. And can also
filtrate and maintain the water quality for longer time of use.
III. Project Description
A. Objectives
 To create a system that automatically harvest rainwater ,analyze , monitor, filtrate and store water.
 To design an affordable system that can be used for alternative water supply.
B. Methodology and Timeline
Do a research on which sensor and filtration system will be used to analyze , filtrate and maintain the water
quality. Timeline that might be needed is 6 months .
C. Expected Output by
To build a device that will be used as an alternative water supply for the increasing demand of water for the
consumer.
