A better alarm

When cities flood, some people who do not have a smart device that gives them a alarm are not aware of rising water levels and when they do find out, their houses are destroyed.floods and leaks can cause major damage and can even bring death and destruction. We are working to make a small inexpensive alarm, to warn less fortunate people that a flood is happening.this could be extremely important for many houses and buildings around 35 MILLION people are affected by floods. That is like if you put 35 calgary's into a giant swamp.

1. research!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2. putting our thoughts on paper 3. test our water detector 4. glue on trifold 5. present to school 6.cities!!!

We researched mostly how wire circuits work and how it would detect it. We found out, since water conducts electricity, it completes the circuit which sends a message to the DC buzzer to warn there house owner about there flood or leak. We also found out that the great Calgary flood was devastating destroying homes and it caused massive destruction. Fun fact, a WHOPPING… 5 people died in the flood. The Calgary flood was a devastating event that destroyed many houses across the city. Did you know that in canada, 2 out of every 10 peoples houses flood.

The water sensing alarm actually works! It can sense the water we put in to the touch. It reacts fast and is reliable. I think it could actually work and save many lives in wet regions with lots of precipitation. All in all, this was a great and successful project and our hypothesis was correct.Our alarm works! We can observe that the alarm is consistent. Working every time without delay.we also observed it make a very loud noise that is high pitch and annoying.it looks like its had better day but it works and is great.
