Water Way and Water Wall
How the Effects of Flood and Soil Erosion is Diminished Using Our Product
Floods are regular events where a zone or land that is typically dry suddenly gets submerged in water. In basic terms, flood can be characterized as a flood of enormous amounts of water onto a regularly dry land. Flooding occurs from multiple points because of flood of streams, waterways, lakes or seas or because of excessive rain. Soil erosion on the other hand is a procedure wherein the top rich layer of soil is lost. Because of soil erosion, the soil turns out to be less fertile. The top layer of soil is exceptionally light which is effectively diverted by wind and water. The expulsion of topsoil by the natural forces is known as soil erosion.
Flood’s effects can be severe because it brings damage to houses, schools, factories, roads, bridges, furniture, cars, machinery, power plants, water supply. While soil erosion can also lead to mudslides and floods, negatively affecting the structural integrity of buildings and roadways.
Therefore we came up with an idea of “Waterway” and “Water Wall” to lessen the effects of flood and soil erosion. Waterway will be implemented into the canals where the flood will be flowing. Connecting these canals through a tube that is connected to nearby water tributaries. Water Wall will be used as a wall for the nearby tributaries where the waterway will be flowing through to prevent the excess of water from overflowing. Water wall can also be used for preventing soil erosion as it only inflates by itself that can prevent the soil from spreading all over the place.
We will be making our project as a miniature to showcase on how it should work on a city that is connecting to nearby water tributaries and to lessen the expenses in making this output. The materials that we will be using are two pieces of clear acrylic sheet, PVC board, small tubes, water and soil.We are quite optimistic that our project will have an impact on diminishing the effects of flood and soil erosion into our structural integrity of buildings, roadways and agriculture because it fills the gap when it comes to trying to prevent the severe damages that floods and soil erosions brings to a certain place.

Soil Erosion and Flood Control
Flooding and soil erosion are two common events that happen in our country. With over 20 typhoons coming in and out every year damages brought by this are no longer new to the eyes of us Filipinos.
According to the book "Earth Science: Exploring Life Through Science", flooding is a natural event or as an area that is usually dry is submerged underwater. It can be characterized as a flood of enormous amount of water onto regularly dry land. It occurs in streams, waterways, lakes or seas either because of excessive rain or blocked water passages. Soil erosion, on the other hand, is a procedure where a top rich layer of the soil is lost. Because of this, the soil turns out to be less fertile.
Flooding and soil erosion are often times interconnected with each other. One of the causes of the soil erosion is water. So when there is flood, there is soil erosion. Flood carries the soil causing disasters such as landslides and mudslides. Damages to housing, machinery, roads and water quality or just a few of the devastating effects of flooding and soil erosion
Calamities such as flooding and soil erosion had brought a massive loss to life and structural designs in the areas affected by it. These incidences can't be stopped as they occur naturally.
Therefore, we came up with an on how to diminish the effects of flooding and soil erosion using "Waterway" and "Water Wall". Waterway will be implemented in the canals where the flood will be flowing. Connecting these canals to a tube that is connected to nearby water tributaries. Water Wall will be used as a wall for the nearby water tributaries to prevent the water from overflowing. Water Wall can also be used for soil erosion as it only inflates by itself to prevent the soil from eroding.
We'll be making our proposal as a miniature using PVC board, tube and water. We are quite optimistic that our project will have an impact on diminishing the effects of flood and soil erosion. Making the loss of life and destructed structure lesser as it fills the gap when it comes to trying to prevent the severe damages brought by these calamities.
