Design and fabrication of drain garbage collector / Mohamad Nor Irfan Mohd Bakri

Malaysia has an equatorial climate with constant high temperatures and high relative humidity. The climate is influenced by the northeast and southwest monsoons. The former, prevailing between November and February, brings heavy rainfall (as much as 600 mm in 24 hours in extreme cases) predominantly to the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia and to Sabah and Sarawak. Rain-bearing winds also come with the southwest monsoon from April to September though rainfalls during these periods are generally less than during the northeast monsoon. There are, in addition, two transitional periods between the monsoons (inter-monsoon) when convectional thunderstorms are common. Clogged drains coupled with excessive rainfall from heavy downpours within a short time contributed to several episodes of flash floods reported nationwide recently. Frequently, the Environment and Water Ministry found that drainage systems were overwhelmed and clogged with solid wastes and various large objects such as furniture, electrical appliances, plastic bottles, bicycles, and toys. The idea for this project is to solve a problem regarding the flood disaster that happens in Malaysia. The main cause of flood is the sewer getting clogged by rubbish, leaves, and small branches. Even though there were many innovations that have already been created out there that block rubbish, leaves, and branch from getting clogged such as putting a net at the end of the sewer to block the substances but it still needs to be done manually to carry out the from the sewer. This project design is to make the substance collectors can be done by automatically and make the work easier. This can help to lessen the burden of worker to carry out the substances from the sewer. This project is hoping that can help to reduce the flood disaster from happening again in the future. Furthermore, this project was hoped that it will be recommended to aid the government to overcome the natural disaster so that the people in this country can relief from flood disasters.
