Today water is a scarce & precious commodity and it is emerging as a demand everywhere. Most of the water is wasted when people do not turn off the flush after use out of laziness or negligence. People leave water running, which consumes 13 -16 ltrs of water for every flush.Moreover, sometimes people leave the urinals unflushed, which creates bad odor and unpleasant environment, thus affecting the health of the people using it. An efficient solution to this problem is the use of urinals with automatic flush controller fitted with sensors that controls the wastage of water and provides a hygienic environment near the urinals thereby reducing the risk of diseases.Our mission is to recommend this technique in public institutions and colleges in order to have economical water system.The adoption of smart urinals, make considerable amount of water savings as well as a cost -effective solution for water crisis. Equipped with IR sensor pair (to detect that the urinal is occupied by the person) solenoid valves only turn on and release water if a person leaves the urinal after use, and the valve closes automatically.
