Final Project Showcase

[Re-Water ]

Project Description

My design is Smart device for "Recycling-Water” by reusing grey water and control consumption, from controlling output clear water (bathroom/kitchen taps) and counting water amount which was consumed and collect grey water from wash basin, bathtub, Kitchen sink and Redirecting it as inputs into devices that can use this water because they do not need the water they use to be pure like washing machine, Flush toilet, Watering plants, Floor cleaning, car washing, .. etc.

Two SDGs concern availability and sustainable management water and sustainable city design. My final project addresses both of them.

SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation

SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

Project Shots

The water faucet operates when the hand approaches it at a distance of less than 10 cm and stops when the hand moves away from that distance.

The red light indicates that the device is working.

The green light indicates that the gray water pump is working and transferring water to the tank or to any device that uses gray water.

The screen displays the current water level in the fresh water tank. When water is used, the level decreases, giving a value for the water shortage, which can be used to determine daily water consumption.

The back shows a model of a filter.

It's a Nice to Have one, as its function is to pass gray water from the main tank through it, purifying it to a degree that makes it suitable for watering plants or cleaning floors, etc.

The hollow Basin design shows the collection of excess water from daily use.

It has holes in the bottom of the basin that collect the water in the main gray water tank, which in turn transfers this water as needed via a water pump.

It also shows the location of the unused hole.

This is the location of the on/off toggle switch, which can be used in the future when adding a water pump, if a soil sensor is added to water plants when the soil dries out.
