The righteous book of Al-Quran mentions that the basic need of the living thing in this world is water. Resident of rural areas such as indigenous people will tap the highland aquatic resources as the main foundation for water. The reservoir is built on the top of hilly area to collect water before it discharges through a pipe system that uses the force of gravity to go down to the settlements. However, the filtration system frequently clogs and requires the occupants to climb up the reservoir hill for cleaning process. A lot of energy and time are required to manage the irrigation systems. Thus, an innovation system has been conducted as the filters will be cleaned automatically using solar energy supply. The designs of the filters are specially designed as the filter is equipped with electric motors, washer rods, power supply units, and automatic control box. The advantages of this project are the product will filtered the water as remain as natural highland watering resources while using the solar energy to accomplished green technology application.
