 Abstract

The Improvised Water Sprinkler refers to a device that is composed by

different variables, these are the used variables in creating the Improvised Water

Sprinkler; sprinkler head, GI nipple 1/2x6, soil moisture sensor, Arduino

microcontroller, jumper wires and inlet. Manual watering system involves using a hose

and bucket to manually water the plants. Improvised water sprinkler is a device used to

distribute water evenly over a designated area. This can cover large area efficiently than

manual watering system. This product is in used more in public parks and open fields.

The abstract discusses the practicality and ingenuity involved in developing a makeshift

sprinkler system, emphasizing its potential benefits for gardening, agriculture, and

outdoor activities. By examining the design, construction, and use of improvised water

sprinklers, the research aims to showcase the resourcefulness and problem-solving

skills required to meet water irrigation needs in diverse settings.

 CHAPTER 1: The Problem and its Statement

Introduction

Water is proven to be very crucial for the soil, as it plays a vital role

everywhere. It has great impact on environment, as it is one of the factors that

keep our soil in a good condition. Watering the soil and plants is essential, it

helps to keep the grass and plants to stay vibrant, green, healthy, and prosperous.

All plants require water to survive and thrive. Transporting nutrients and

carbohydrates from the soil to the plants also requires water. Every plant will

eventually experience a drought or lack of water. In rare circumstances, this may

be lethal, or it may drastically limit the plants growth. Prolonged droughts can

leave plants vulnerable to secondary infections by diseases and pests. Water is a

channel via which vital nutrients are transferred from the soil to the plant roots.

The mechanism known as osmosis allows nutrients dissolved in water to be

absorbed by the roots of plants. These minerals which include potassium,

phosphorus, and nitrogen are essential for cell division, growth, and flowering in

plants.

Overwatering is one of the most common problems that the gardeners and even

farmers are facing globally. It refers to the excess amount of water given to the

6
soil or plants. Due to this excessive amount of water given to the soil, it damages

fine roots and sometime causes the plants to die. Overwatering is much intense

than severe drought as it brings stress and loss of oxygen to the plants and soils.

It became an alarming issue as it makes brings harm not only in the soil but also

to the plants. (Gonzales, 2010)

Whether it’s fresh turf or an established lawn, overwatering the grass

can cause a number of issues. Overabundance of water overwhelms the lawn,

depriving the roots of essential nutrients and oxygen. Due to this, the grass finds

it difficult to absorb what it requires, which might result in illnesses and poor

health. It’s true that plants might suffer from overwatering. Overwatering a

plant, results in saturated soil that is deficient in oxygen. As a result, the roots of

the plant are deprived of oxygen, which could lead to asphyxia and eventual

death. Plants that have received the ideal balance and only giving plants water

when they truly need it are crucial. Your plant’s roots are its main source of

nutrition, water, but they also require air to breathe. To put it simply,

overwatering kills your plant. In health soil, the spaces between the soil

particles are able to hold oxygen. There won’t be enough air pockets if the soil is

always wet or there is an excessive amount of water present. As a result, there is

less oxygen available, which prevents plants from breathing. Plants with

insufficient water experience browning and wilting of the leaves. This is also a

7
result of overwatering plants. The primary distinction between the two is that

your plant’s leaves will feel crispy and dry if it receives insufficient water.

Review of Related Literature

Many people consider having an automatic irrigation system, or

sprinkler, installed to water their lawns. According to David Beaulieu (2022),

Automatic irrigation systems are convenient, especially for those who travel. To

determine how human control can be removed from irrigation while also

optimizing water use in the process. In all agricultural seasons, an automatic

irrigation system has been designed to facilitate the automated provide of

adequate water from a reservoir to field or domestic corps (Nelson R., 2021).

The combination of IoT (Internet of Things) Technology and solar cell can be

used to ease human work in everyday life. This research will design and build an

internet of Things (IoT)-based automatic plants sprinkler system by utilizing

solar cells as electrical energy (Earth and Environmental Science, 2021).

Automated Water Sprinkler System with SMS Monitoring aimed to

design a device for watering the plants, specially an automated water sprinkler

that can monitor the user through the SMS service system. The design project

was evaluated by 11 selected evaluators who found that the device was effective

and efficient in watering the plants (Dilangalen, 2013). In India, they aim to

review the need of soil moisture sensors in irrigation, sensor technology and

8
their applications in different aspects of agriculture and in irrigation scheduling

in. Agriculture is the major user of fresh water, consumes 70% of fresh water. It

is estimated that 40% of the fresh-water used for agriculture in developing

countries is lost, either by evaporation, spills, or absorption by the deeper layers

of the soil, beyond the reach of plants roots (IJERT, 2016).

According to Bwambale (2021), there is a potential to improve water

use efficiency. Through smart irrigation systems, and advanced control

strategies for optimal irrigation scheduling. The paper’s reviews state-of-the art

smart monitoring and irrigation control strategies that have been used in recent

years for irrigation strategies. Based on the analysis of the traditional automatic

sprinkler maintenance methods in parks, the paper proposes the use of

photovoltaic power supply and remote controllable automatic sprinkler

methods. On the basis of using solar power source, batteries are used to store

electrical energy (Meng Beng, 2021).

Agriculture in general and landscaping in particular remain as activities

in which the amount of wasted water persist at very high levels. Despite all the

technology available today, it is still common to find parks and green spaces

where the applied irrigation systems are frequently triggered with dubious

(Penha, 2019). Currently, most irrigation systems are operated manually or are

based on pre-defined controlled systems. The results of the study demonstrate

9
that numerous tasks, especially locating equipment and logging maintenance,

can be more efficient using mobile technology (Trenholm, 2018). Further,

technicians are receptive to the introduction of technology in their routines. An

analysis of the time savings shows that the technology may save technicians 15

to 50 minutes daily which translates to thousands of dollars annually in savings

per technician and increased productivity rates. The review presents current

literature data on the mechanisms maintaining plant water balance or those

providing for tolerance to its disturbance (Kudoyarova, 2013). We consider the

processes enabling the changes in the transpiration rate under water deficit due

to changes in stomatal conductivity and the changes in the rate of leaf growth, as

well as the role of hydraulic and hormonal (ABA, ethylene, cytokinin) signals in

their regulation.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to create a device that surpass human watering techniques.

Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What are the key features of Automatic Solar Sensor Watering Device in

terms of its Functionality?

1.1) Soil Moisture Sensor

1.2) Solar Panel

1.3) Water Pump

1.4) Sprinkler Head

2. How does the Improvised Water Sprinkler improve the water usage?

3. How does the Improvised Sprinkler guarantee an accurate calculation of

water needed to prevent overwatering?

4. What is the significance of the Automatic Solar Sensor Device in preventing

the overwatering and optimizing the water usage?

Scope and Delimitation

Scope:

11
This study aims to develop and assess an upgraded water sprinkler system

specially designed for public park. The scope of the study encompasses the

construction, design, and testing phases of the sprinkler with a focus on its

compatibility with existing systems.

Delimitation: The delimitation of our study are as follows:

This study assumes the availability of basic materials required to

construct the automated solar-powered sprinkler without the need for

specialized equipment. The evaluation of the sensor-based sprinkler system was

conducted under normal weather conditions, without addressing extreme

climate conditions. This project presupposes that a dependable water source,

such as a well or a municipal water supply, is accessible. The exploration of

alternate water source, such as rainwater harvesting or water filtration systems

falls outside the boundaries of this project. The study does not address the

implementation of the sprinkler system in specific park locations, focusing

solely on its functionality and performance. The project will strictly adhere to a

predetermined budget. Solar energy entails the encouragement and adoption of

practices that guarantee the long-term viability and eco-friendliness of solar

energy systems. It also involves fostering expertise and skills in the development

of solar energy. When it comes to the grass type, the sprinkler’s intended use can

be determined by specifying the type of grass or turf. For example, it might be

12
suitable for cool-season grasses such as warm-season grasses like Bermuda

grass.

Significance of the Study

This study aims to create an Improvised Water Sprinkler: An Innovative

Approach for Preventing Overwatering and Optimizing Water Usage. The result

of the study is expected to play a significant contribution to the following:

Community: For having another development to the society and this is

important because the people who go to parks have better and wonderful

experience by means of having a good quality of soil.

Researcher: It is a big contribution on their part, as active and productive

students and citizens. It also enhanced their talents and skills in making a new

study.

Park Keepers: It helps the park keepers because they don’t have to put much

reducing their work so that they can focus on other activities in the park and

save more time.

13
Future Researchers: It will help them as their guide and to have the knowledge

to do this kind of study.

Business Men: This will be their opportunity to have a new product that is

unique and very sustainable.

32
 CHAPTER 4: Discussions

Justification of Results

This study was conducted in response to the concerns of the urgent

worldwide issue of water conservation is addressed by this study. Effective

water resource management is essential given the growing scarcity of water and

environmental concerns. This study looks into improvised water sprinklers to

find a way to maximize water use by applying water only where and when it’s

needed, while also preventing over watering, which can cause loss of nutrients

and soil erosion.

This study promotes water management practices. By introducing

improvised water sprinkler it could completely transform irrigation techniques,

especially in areas where water is limited. To prevent over-watering and

maximize water efficiency, the proposed study on improvised water sprinklers

meets an important need for sustainable water usage. Furthermore, the

application of this study did result in important water savings.

Implications of Finding

33
 The discovery of how makeshift water sprinklers can enhance water

usage has significant implications for individuals as well as agricultural and

landscaping industries. By improving the effectiveness of water distribution,

these improvised sprinklers can reduce water usage and promote more precise

watering system practices, thereby supporting water conservation endeavors.

This is especially crucial in areas affected by water scarcity, where the

adoption of such technology can mitigate stress on limited water supplies and

bolster sustainable water management strategies. In addition, the utilization of

makeshift water sprinklers can bring financial advantages by potentially

decreasing water consumption and lowering utility costs for users. On a larger

scale, enhanced water efficiency can result in better crop yields and Increased

productivity in agriculture, which could contribute to food security and

economic stability in rural communities. Ultimately, the findings on the impact

of improvised water sprinklers on water usage highlight the potential for

positive environmental, social, and economic outcomes linked to more effective

and conscientious water management techniques.

Conclusions

34
 This discourse has indeed proven that the problem is over-watering and

inappropriate water usage can be solved through the use of an Improvised

Water Sprinkler. The outcome of this study indicates the significance of using the

Improvised Water Sprinkler. The use of the Improvised Sprinkler would greatly

help the prevention in over watering and at the same time the conservation of

water. Not only does the Improvised Sprinkler provides efficient and

effectiveness service, it also helps individuals to save electricity bill. As a result,

this study left great impact to the community and environment specially to the

landscapers.

Firstly, the researcher tested the functionality of the soil moisture

sensor and the solar panel, this was to identify if the products are working well.

To determine if the soil moisture was working, the researchers conducted an

experiment and at the same time, a trial and error, the findings was labeled as

the “Trial 1” and “Trial 2” in the Page of the paper. On the other hand, to be able

to test the functionality of the solar panel, the researcher used the solar charge

controller, device is responsible to read the volts that the solar panel had

released.

The last experiment conducted is to test the Improvised Water Sprinkler,

the testing was conducted in Two days. During the Day 1, the researchers

allotted a 5 hour of testing duration for the sprinkler, every after an hour, the soil

35
is monitored. In the Day 2 of the experimentation, another 5 hours was allotted

to evaluate and gather data from the results.

Recommendations

The researcher suggestions towards the future researcher is to

Implement the usage of batteries as an alternative power source, in this way, the

researchers will be able to develop an alternative as their power source. Next, is

to conserve rain water for application to be the alternative instead of fresh water,

not only will the partakers be able to save electricity bill but also water bill.

Lastly, create a software connected to the sprinkler for the keepers to have

access towards the device.

Dear Sir/Madam, March 15, 2024

Greetings of Peace!

In partial fulfillment of our requirements for our subject Research, we the

Grade 9 Science Technology Engineering (STE) students of Section
Mendeleev at New Society National High School would like to ask for
permission to do a face-to-face interview and survey in your dynamic and
ideal vicinity.

As part of our interview and survey, we have decided to pick the Forest Lake
Memorial Park to conduct this activity due to its suitability for our research
paper entitled as the “Improvised Water Sprinkler: An Innovative
Approach for Preventing Over Watering and Optimizing Water Usage”.
Hence, the establishment is very ideal for our study.

In line with this, we would like to ask your good office to allow us to conduct
our research study in your vicinity. The proposed survey is scheduled to be
carried out this March 5, 2024. If circumstances allow, this schedule may be
modified. Rest assured that we will only collect and observe data that is
relevant to our learning, and it will only be utilize for our study.

Sincerely,

PRECIOUS AYUMI R. ALEJANDRIA
