MCU-Based Water Monitoring System for Water Treatment Facility
Abstract
One of the enormous problems in both advanced and developing countries is water scarcity
and water contamination. Water is one of life's most essential elements, especially for humans,
because without water all living organisms cannot survive. Hence, having clean and secure water is
essential and constant monitoring of water quality is an important tool for the water treatment facility.
To obtain the water quality in a treatment facility, the researchers designed an MCU-Based
Water Monitoring System for the water treatment facility. This one of the objectives of the study.
Furthermore, this study aims to design the circuit of an MCU-based water monitoring system, fabricate
a prototype of the designed circuit, and integrate the developed prototype on the water treatment
facility. Evaluating the functionality, effectiveness, and reliability of the prototype.
Researchers have used the research and development methodology for this study. This
methodology is intended to acquire knowledge and information, including research design, research
environment, procedures, and design concept for the development and fabrication of the prototype.
The researchers surveyed 50 respondents who are the residents of the said barangay. The
researchers presented some questions in which the respondents were focused upon whether they
agreed or disagreed on the functionality, effectiveness, and reliability of the system. By the Likert scale,
the researchers identified the description of the results of each standard of agreement of the
respondents and analyzed the data using the weighted mean. As the results of the research, the
majority of the respondents strongly agreed on the functionality, effectiveness, and reliability of the
prototype.
The researchers thus met the objectives of the study. As a result, the researchers fabricated
a prototype installed in the system of Mechanical Engineering colleagues. The main component of the
system includes a microcontroller unit for system processing and the data of the water quality is read
through the water parameters. The microcontroller analyzes the data and displays the result on the
LCD screen. The SMS alert will be sent to notify the authorized personnel of the level of these
parameters and to support throughout the filtering process, chlorine dosing system for the operation
of disinfection. The system will immensely help the residents of the said barangay, to become aware of
water contaminated as well as to have a good supply of water.
Design of an Electronic Nurse Call System
Abstract
Nurse call systems in managing hospital patients is critical. With the influx of patients due to the
pandemic, nurses are overwhelmed with patients to handle. An efficient nurse call system will ease the load
and provide them with a communication tool without direct contact to patients.
Development of a wireless nurse call system takes the technology to the next level due to ease of
installation and less downtime of the hospital room.
This project study is intended to the development, fabrication and implementation of a wireless nurse
call system based on the requirement of the COVID-19 Intensive Care Unit. The Nurse Call system should
be able to provide the patient who is confined and has no other way of communicating to alert a nurse of the
need for any type of assistance.
The system will use a smart controller and wireless switches to continuously monitor and display the
status of hospital bed patients for assistance.
A Design of an MCU-Based Flood Detection and Alert System
Flood is one of the most destructive natural disasters. It is inevitable most especially to those who
reside in low-lying areas near the river. With the advancement of technology, this study seeks to design
and develop a flood detection and alert system for flood-prone areas such as Barangay in order to reduce
and mitigate the risk of flooding. Research and Development method has been utilized to design and
fabricate a prototype of the system. The efficiency and functionality will be evaluated by the purposively
selected residents of the barangay.
Flood is one of the most destructive natural disasters. It is inevitable most especially to those who

develop a flood detection and alert system for flood-prone areas such as Barangay. This will help reduce
and mitigate the risk of flooding. Research and Development method was utilized to design and fabricate a
prototype of the system. The system have monitoring and alert features. The monitoring features includes
measuring the parameters of the river with regards to the factors affecting flood risk. The alert features
consist of SMS alert and alarm siren. The project study will utilize data communications principles,
hardware architecture designs, and software integration. The system utilized microcontroller unit and
sensor such as rain gauge, flow sensor, and ultrasonic sensor. GSM module and WiFi module were used
for networking. The Design of an MCU-Based Flood Detection and Alert system was tested and found to be
functional and effective in monitoring the flood risk and disseminating information alerting the community
affected.
Design of an MCU-Based Solar Greenhouse Dryer
Grain has been an important agricultural commodity and primary food source for
centuries. One of the most important means for the preservation of many kinds of
agricultural products is by drying. The purpose of the study is to design and develop the
MCU Based Solar Greenhouse Dryer. The Research and Development (R & D) type of
research design will be used to enable the collection of quantitative from the respondents
from Barangay, who sampled purposively. The study is guided with the following research
objectives: (1) To gather and analyze the data on the drying process of rice grains at
Barangay; (2) To design a system of MCU Based Solar Greenhouse using suitable
integrated hardware and software components; (3) To fabricate the prototype of the MCU
Based Solar Greenhouse Dryer; and (4) To evaluate the performance of the solar
greenhouse dryer based on the parameters such as monitoring of the temperature, humidity,
and moisture content of the produce, drying period, drying rate and efficiency.
Design of Automated Dug Well Water Filtration System using GSM Module
The main purpose of this research was to use Sand, Ceramic, Carbon, and Ultraviolet
Disinfection Filtration to provide an effective dug well water filtration system. This plan would
provide Sitio Manigbas an opportunity to have drinking water from an alternative source, the
well water. This type of dug well water filtration system would be used as an alternative source
of drinking water instead of relying on the scheduled water delivery in the area once a week.
This research design is used to enable an automated dug well water filtration system with the
help of a global system for mobile communication in the interconnection of send and receive
data. Additionally, a survey was conducted with its beneficiary's residents based on areas such
as how they were persuaded that this device would be a module for collecting drinking water
from the poso/well. The researchers concluded that clean water can also come from the infinite
supply we have as long as we have a proper system that would securely process and store it.
