‘Biomimetics’ design approach is the imitation of
model/system that resembles the nature. The prototype will be
designed to fit larger drainage (up to 10 meters wide) that only
rely on the natural gravity flow and will be installed floating
across the waterways. The prototype also requires no power
pumps or electrical devices since it relies on the natural gravity
flow and will be installed floating across the waterways.
