METHODS OF RESEARCH TOPIC PROPOSAL
A. Basic
Information
Proposed Title “Compact and Adjustable Drainage Waste Collector”
Drainage
Waste
Keywords Pollution
Water
Economy
B. Technical To have sustainable ecosystems, we need clean water.
Description Rivers, lakes, bays, and coastal areas are all dependent on the
streams and waterways that feed them. Communities benefit from
streams and waterways, it restore freshwater sources, filter waste,
and provide habitat for fish and wildlife. People's health is
dependent on clean water. Clean water is important to our way of
life healthy waters offer wildlife habitat as well as opportunities to
catch fish. Manufacturing, agriculture, tourism, recreation,
electricity generation, and other sectors of the economy all rely on
clean water to work and develop.
Human-caused water pollution is one of the world's most

serious issues. Contaminated water areas are one of the most
serious issues facing animals and humans, putting their welfare
and lives in jeopardy. As a result, further research on how to
minimize water pollution is required. The supporters of this study
came up with a concept for reducing water wastes by storing
floating wastes.
Instead of manually cleaning up wastes one by one, this model
makes the job of people simpler by actually monitoring with the
controller and waiting for it to collect a certain amount of waste in
the water. This innovation would revolutionize the way water areas
are cleaned without endangering people's health. As it is compact
and adjustable for any sizes of drainage or canal system.
General Objective:
Specific Objectives:
1. To develop a model that can sustainably gather waste
unattended.
Objectives 2. To identify which type of waste materials are common, that is
affecting water areas.
3. To maximize the measures in different means of cleaning the
water ways.
4. To test how efficient it is in terms of collecting waste materials.
Review of Our well-being is being jeopardized by the pervasive issue of

Related water contamination. Per year, water contamination kills more
Literatures and people than all other sources of crime combined. Meanwhile, our
Studies supplies of potable water are limited: We have access to less than
1% of the world's freshwater supply. If little is done, the issues can
only get worse by 2050, when global freshwater demand is
projected to be one-third higher than it is today. [1]
Lack of access to adequate amounts of water can also play a role

in water-related illness, and it's linked to environmental
conditions. Around a third of the world's population lives in
countries with mild to extreme water shortages, and water scarcity
is on the increase, owing in part to habitat degradation and
pollution. If current global consumption rates persist, two out of
every three people on the planet could be living in water-stressed
conditions by 2025. [2]
The improper use of non-conventional water sources in

agriculture, especially wastewater, will result in the accumulation
of microbiological and chemical contaminants in crops, livestock
products, soil and water supplies, and, eventually, serious health
consequences for exposed food consumers and farm workers, as
well as intensify antimicrobial resistance. However, if correctly
treated and implemented, wastewater can be a vital source of
both water and nutrients, helping to enhance food quality and
livelihoods. [3]
Clean water is not only a must for our bodies, but it is also a
resource that we use on a regular basis. It's used for heating,
washing, showering, and flushing at home. Water is used in the
manufacture of our fruit, garments, cell phones, vehicles, and
books. Water is used to build our houses, classrooms, and
bridges, as well as to heat and cool power plants. We light our
cities and homes with the energy produced by its movement. To
cool off on a humid summer day, we dive into the sea or take a
walk by a pool. [4]
According to a recent study published by UNICEF and the World

Health Organization, billions of people around the world appear to
lack access to clean drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene.
Around the world, 2.2 billion people do not have access to clean
drinking water, 4.2 billion do not have access to proper sanitation,
and 3 billion do not have access to adequate sanitizing facilities.
[5]
The Interceptor is solar-powered, with onboard lithium-ion

batteries that allow it to operate without causing any noise or
releasing any exhaust fumes at any time of day or night.
The system's efficiency, energy consumption, and component
health are all controlled by an internet-connected onboard
computer. The machine is fixed to the riverbed to catch plastic
using the river's natural flow, and it is equipped for 24/7
autonomous service, reducing the need for hazardous manual
labour. [6]
Water is often associated with survival. However, with an

archipelago in Southeast Asia sandwiched between the Philippine
Sea and the South China Sea, water contamination in the
Philippines has made this important resource unfit for human use.
“High inorganic toxins have produced water increasingly a threat
to life,” [7]
The Philippines, formally the Republic of the Philippines, is a

country in Southeast Asia in the western Pacific made up of 7,107
islands. The Luzon Strait, the South China Sea, the Sulu Sea, the
Celebes Sea, and the Philippine Sea surround the region.
Unmanaged, rapid population growth, as per the United Nations,
has contributed to widespread poverty, environmental destruction,
and pollution in the Philippines. [8]
The consequences of water contamination cost the Philippines
$1.3 billion a year. The government tries to attempt to clear up the
situation by enforcing fines on polluters and imposing pollution
taxes, but several questions remain unanswered. According to
government sampling reports, coliform was found in up to 58
percent of the groundwater sampled, and water-borne sources
were responsible for about one-third of the illnesses observed
over a five-year period. Furthermore, many countries face water
shortages during the dry season. [9]
Laguna de Bay is the Philippines' largest lake, supplying a third of

the fish consumed by Metro Manila's 16 million residents. It also
helps agriculture, industry, and hydropower production, as well as
offering a soothing and pleasant getaway for many Filipinos.
Millions more of Local residents settle around the 285-kilometer
coastline. However, because of its importance, the lake is
endangered by a variety of concerns, including pollution from
untreated sewage and agricultural waste, overfishing, and
sedimentation and illegal reclamation, which are eroding its
capacity. [10]
Solid waste management continues to be a major issue in the

Philippines, especially in urban areas such as Metro Manila.
Improper waste treatment, inadequate waste storage, and a
shortage of disposal infrastructure are among the most pressing
problems facing the country's solid waste management. Until
these issues are resolved, wastes emitted from different sources
will continue to pose health risks and have significant
environmental consequences such as land and surface water
degradation, floods, air pollution, and disease transmission. [11]
The Clean Water Program is based on existing environmental

legislation, specifically RA 9275, the Philippine Clean Water Act
(CWA), which defines a systematic plan to resolve the depletion of
our water-bodies. It guides the Bureau to establish and enforce
policies, as well as strengthen relationships with stakeholders, in
order to enhance water quality throughout the region. It supports
pollution prevention and waste reduction at the source, and it
advocates for the use of economic benefits as well as public
transparency to ensure compliance. (DENR, 2019)
What motivates me to do this?

How do you I want people to get an understanding and this is really important
intend to solve to all of us. This will support the community in sustaining and
the problem? maintaining a clean environment without requiring too much effort.
With the aid of my proposed new design, our community will
reduce the factors affecting water pollution.
Research Design
This is a methodological analysis on developing a modern system
for a drainage waste collector. The researchers are working on
this study in order to improve the usage of waste collector
machines in various fields. The researchers developed an idea to
extend the study of how it can improve the uses of the waste
collector machine based on its need, material supply, and
uniqueness.
How it works?
During the operation, rakes attached to a chain raise the drainage
wastes. The connection revolves around the gear, which is driven
by a motor. When the motor is turned on, the chain starts to move,
allowing the rakes to ascend. The teeth of a rake lift the solid
waste and dump it in a container. The solid wastes are manually
removed from the container after it has been properly filled.
Supplies and Materials

In order to make the Adjustable Drainage Waste Collector, the
materials to be used were enumerated as follows.
 Chain
 Conveyor Belt
 Metal Sheets
 Gear
 Metal Pipes
 Batteries
 DC Motor
Tools and Equipment’s

Tools:

Population and Sampling

In order to encourage customers to use the product. The
researchers will conduct multiple product evaluations and collect
all relevant data for the assessment to show that the adjustable
drainage waste collector can be used for various drainage
dimensions in terms of performance and waste collection capacity.
For the sample, the researcher will use weighted mean and
standard deviation as sampling methods. An evaluation will be
carried out in a specific area where waste pollution is having an
effect on residents.
