ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Foremost of everything, our sincerest gratitude and praise to GOD Almighty
for His wisdom and blessings bestowed upon us throughout our work.
This thesis would not be possible without the help of some people who have
helped us for our research study in so many ways. To our design project instructor,
Mr. Jose Marie Dipay, who introduced the whole class with the nature of
developmental research and giving us the opportunity to conduct a study regarding
with our field; our sincerest gratitude. His vision, dedication and dynamism inspired
us in some ways. It‘s such a great privilege and honor to work and study under his
guidance.
Moreover, we would also like to express our cordial appreciation to Prof.
Paul Anthony Moron, Diomarch Z. Torrado, Mr. Ivar Mocorro, and Mr. Kevin Daniel
Miraflores by selflessly sharing their knowledgeable thoughts regarding with our
thesis topic. Last but not the least; we can’t thank enough the residents of
Barangay 593 Zone 58 in Sta. Mesa, Manila who spared their time during our
survey by giving their honest answers and comments regarding with our research.
Without them, we would not successfully finish our research work.

ABSTRACT
Title: Ultrasonic Flood Monitoring Sound Alert System with Indicators
for Brgy. 593 Zone 58 District IV, Sta. Mesa, Manila

Adviser: Prof. Jose Marie Dipay
The Problem
The main objective of the study is to develop and deploy a system that can
monitor flood levels. In which, it will help to avoid stalled vehicles, stranded
residents and fatality. The researchers have chosen Brgy. 593 Zone 58 District IV,
Sta. Mesa, Manila to be the beneficiary of the Design Project.
Research Methodology
The respondents of the study are the permanent residents of Brgy. 593 Zone
58 District IV, Sta. Mesa, Manila. Fifty (50) residents were chosen to answer the
self-obtained survey questionnaire.

POLYTECHNIC UNIVERS ITY OF THE PH IL IPP INES
The instruments used were self-obtained questionnaire. It composed of ten
(10) questions that focuses on the time frame of how fast does floods increased.
Data were gathered through conducting interviews and survey. The researchers
also conducted a small talk with the barangay officials.
There is no sampling method was used in the study.
Findings
Findings revealed that Albina St. and Altura St. which lies in Sta. Mesa,
Manila are the areas where high level floods mostly occur at Brgy. 593 Zone 58.
Findings also revealed that ultrasonic sensor can detect sound breeze of the
strong winds.
Conclusions
Based on the findings, the following conclusions were derived
1. The system can detect water floods with approximate distance range of 450
centimeters.
2. Strong winds that might detect by the system can cause troubles and
interferences with the measurement of water floods, due to the sensor that was
used by the researchers can sense sound waves.
3. Strong hurricanes and typhoons may lead to destruction of the system.

Recommendations
Based on the conclusions, the following were recommended:
1. The authorities should take an immediate response when calamities are
expected to happen to avoid casualties.
2. The beneficiary must turn the switch ON of the system when storm is
expected to landfall.
