Ecoflush is an innovative project designed to significantly enhance our city's sewage system. Our goal is to implement a system of intelligent valves that not only prevents flooding during heavy rainfall but also contributes to preventing droughts by enabling efficient water storage and utilization.

As part of our plan, rain and water level sensors will be installed at strategic locations throughout the city. These sensors will be connected to a centralized control system, allowing for real-time data collection. This innovative system relies on mapping data systems , including NASA's GEOS for weather predictions and Aqua MODIS, as well as other sensors that measure tank capacity.

We will deploy a network of gates and valves within the sewage system, designed to be controlled through an artificial intelligence system based on sensor readings. When heavy rainfall is anticipated, these gates can be opened to allow water to flow into storm tanks.

In order to use this stored water, the implementation of purification systems is essential, both natural and artificial, to improve water quality before it enters the reservoir or before being used.

We will establish a continuous monitoring system to check the status of gates, sensors, and reservoirs. Regular maintenance will be performed to ensure the system operates efficiently and safely.

Furthermore, to make this data accessible and for the effectiveness of our proposal, all information will be made publicly available for social benefit. We have created a prototype application where this data would be visible, and the status of different sensors would be accessible for proper system maintenance.
