Effective maintenance of canals is essential in order to maintain the quality of water
supplies and ensure that waterway systems function correctly. However, most communities
have problems on blocked canals due to various root causes such as inaccurate design of
canal structure, irregular maintenance of drainage canal, improper waste disposal, heavy
rain and storms, improper catchment area management, and lack of garbage bins. While
there are current solutions to resolve blocked canals which are found to be able to strain
the waste and other debris, contains powerful motor for garbage suck up, basket can lift a
trunk, and can command how many water or trash can pass. However, they cannot be used
without electricity, they have limited suction capacity, unable to segregate smaller waste,
and have limited storage capacity. This study, a portable canal cleaner system is focused
on the design, development, testing and evaluation of the project. The system was
developed using an Arduino uno, solar panel, battery, ultrasonic sensor, buzzer, 5v
regulator module and solar charge controller, and implemented using prototyping
approach. The researchers found out that there is a significant positive relationship between
the motor operating time and the amount of waste collected (r = 0.824; N = 10; p = 0.003).
This means that while the system operating time increased, its suction capacity is also
significantly increased. Lastly, the respondents evaluated the prototype to be “Excellent,”
with an average rating of 4.75. The potential beneficiaries of the project study include street
sweepers, the community, and ordinary people who rely on properly functioning canals to
mitigate the risk of floods and maintain a clean environment. The project study is aligned
with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs) number nine (9) which covers
the Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.
