RECONSTRUCTION OF OLD WATER FOUNTAIN AND CONSTRUCTION OF UNIQUE AND STANDARD BASE FOR SCULPTURAL WORKS IN THE SCULPTURE PARK
Abstract
In the heart of our vibrant campus lies a hidden gem, waiting to be rediscovered. The historic water fountain, once a majestic centerpiece, has stood silently for decades, its beauty and potential obscured by time. As fine art students navigate the demands of creative expression they require inspiring space to relax, reflect, and recharge. This project seeks to breathe new life into the neglected fountain, transforming it into a tranquil relaxation center tailored to the unique needs of fine arts students. The water fountain’s rich history dates backs to year, when it was initially constructed as a symbol of university/ city pride. Over the years, the fountain fell into disrepair, its beauty and functionally forgotten. Fine arts students face unique pressure, requiring spaces that foster creativity calmness and community. To create a serene relaxation hub catering specifically to fine art students, promoting artistic expression, well-being, and social connection, manual plant watering has been an insistent problem in this era of technological advancement. An automatic sprinkler system for plant and automatic refill system for water fountain is a practical solution to minimize water loss and human errors encountered in manual watering. The project is a microcontroller based automatic refill system for water fountain and automatic sprinkler system for plants. It uses an ATmega328p microcontroller (MCU) IC that serve as the brain incorporated with a real time clock (RTC) module to turn on the sprinkler pump at a designated time and a soil moisture sensor that monitors the water level in the soil by comparing it with a pre-programmed threshold value. A float switch constantly monitors the water level in the fountain. When the water goes below a desired level, the float switch sends signal to the microcontroller that turns on the refill pump and when the water is at optimal level the refill pump automatically turns off. This project can improve the stranded of living for human and add instant beauty to our surroundings. The benefits of this project cannot be over emphasized.
