The team came up with a smart system that helps citizens and farmers who live by the mountains know when lakes and rivers are polluted.
A lot of people throw out their garbage in rivers and lakes and pollute the environment. This has a lot of negative effects: people can’t go swimming, farmers and citizens cannot use the water for their daily activities. The team created a smart meter that detects the level of pollution in the water and displays the results with a red or green light. In case of negative results, different people are alerted and a plastic vacuum system power by human energy is activated.
