A team of students from Sitra Intermediate Girls School has designed an electrical circuit that can control water levels in households and water tanks using electrical engineering principles.
The project was designed as part of a Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics (STREAM) learning initiative, implemented by the Education Ministry.
One of the students, Zainab Al Wazir, explained that they were trying to find a practical idea to address a community-related issue and developed the water tank circuit to regulate water levels.
“The goal is to prevent overflow, which can lead to water wastage and inconvenience for homeowners and neighbours,” she said.
“We faced several challenges while assembling the circuit, but with perseverance, we successfully built a functional system.
“The circuit operates using electrical switches placed at three different levels inside the tank, along with sensors that detect water levels.
“These sensors alert users if the water exceeds the designated level and help regulate the filling process.”
Ms Al Wazir praised science teacher Hanan Abdulwahab for supervising the project and expressed her joy and that of her teammates in showcasing their work as part of the STREAM initiative in intermediate and secondary schools.
