KOTA KINABALU: A life-saving flood alert system invented by students of SM St Michael notched the school the top position in the Shell NXplorers Sabah competition.
Team Lovelies from SM St Michael, a school in the flood-prone Penampang district near here, invented the alert system, called Wiver, which keeps residents aware of increasing water levels in nearby monsoon drains or rivers.
“We look forward to participating in the national challenge and hope to make our state proud,” they added. Equipped with a sensor to detect soil moisture, the solution also waters plants automatically which helps enhance the growth of plants and prevents them from dehydrating. Sabah Shell Petroleum Company Ltd general manager Prithipal Singh was impressed with the level of ingenuity shown by the students.
Nine schools competed in the competition this year - SMK Badin, SMK St Joseph, SM La Salle, SM Sung Siew, SMK Pekan Telipok, SMK St John and SMK Bandaraya KK besides SM St Michael and SM All Saints.
