SMARTFLOW: ADAPTIVE DRAINAGE CLOGGING MONITORING SYSTEM
Abstract
Drainage clogging is a common issue faced by Drainage Clogging Monitoring System was many barangays, especially during the rainy season. conceptualized. This system integrates sensors and a Blocked drainage systems, filled with waste, leaves, and notification system to monitor water levels and detect debris, cause stagnant water to accumulate, resulting in blockages in drainage canals in real time. It alerts floods, property damage, and the spread of diseases such as dengue and malaria. These problems not only affect the barangay officials when water levels rise abnormally or safety and health of residents but also disrupt community when potential clogs are detected, allowing for immediate activities and strain local resources. Traditionally, action before problems escalate. drainage maintenance in barangays relies on manual inspection, which is time - consuming, inefficient, and The main purpose of SMARTFLOW is to often reactive rather than preventive. improve the efficiency and responsiveness of barangay disaster risk management teams in monitoring and This study proposes SMARTFLOW: Adaptive maintaining clean and functional drainage systems. By Drainage Clogging Monitoring System for Barangay, a using technology to automate monitoring, the system smart, real - time monitoring system designed to detect reduces the risk of flooding, enhances public safety, and abnormal water levels and potential blockages in drainage contributes to a cleaner, h ealthier community systems. Using water level sensors and data notif ication environment. features, SMARTFLOW provides barangay officials with timely alerts, enabling them to respond quickly and II. METHODOLOGY efficiently before minor issues escalate into major problems. The system helps reduce flooding risks, minimize health hazards, and prevent d amage to public Conceptual Framework infrastructure. Beyond its technical advantages, SMARTFLOW promotes proactive disaster preparedness , encourages environmental cleanliness, and supports sustainable urban development. By integrating modern technology into local governance, the project aims to empower barangay leaders with data - driven solutions for better public service delivery. Through continuous monitoring and timely maintenance, SMARTFLOW contributes to a cleaner, safer, and more resilient barangay, ultimately improving the quality of life for its residents. This research highlights the importance of adopting smart technolog ies in addressing everyday community problems and ensuring the welfare of the people. For the development of SMARTFLOW:
