Abstract
A flood is a disaster that happens unexpectedly and causes death, devastation of property or the environment, as well as having an impact on local community activities. This crisis calls for intensive management of resources, frequency, and people from numerous agencies as well as efficient coordination and the necessary actions. Contamination of water facilities is the most frequent concern connected to flooding. Due to the mudslides produced by the rains, the water becomes murky and stinky. This water source is no longer usable as a source of water for daily tasks. In order to help those in need of clean water during a disaster, this study was carried out. Empty bottles, eggshells, coconut coir, and river stones are examples of recycled and environmentally acceptable products that can be used to reduce solid waste. Due to the exceedingly alarming daily discharge rate of these materials, we used it to protect the environment and live sustainably. The process starts with adding the tainted water to the large bottle. The water will then pass through the filter part, which is made of four layers. The first layer is coconut coir which has a high porosity due to its fibre nature. The second layer is charcoal which is excellent for absorbing oil because it contains activated carbon. The next layer is pebbles, which can filter out coarse solutions. The last layer is eggshell, which is rich in calcium carbonate and can filter out radioactive materials. As a result, the water that is released from the bottle will be neutral and suitable for use in everyday tasks. This demonstrates that this study can continue to revolutionise not only in this nation but also in other countries due to its low price and environmentally friendly. In terms of the study's findings, we hope that it will serve as an incentive for helping individuals to deal with this issue when a crisis arises.
