Evaporation innovations through nozzle sprinklers and long range discharge systems are created based on the occurrence of stagnant floods at identified locations. Stagnant floods are water in an area that does not recede for 10 days and at the same time can damage the activities of the population such as agriculture, fishing, and other activities, this will also increase the cost of repairing existing activities after the flood. This innovation will test 5 types of nozzles of various designs as well as various forms of spray into the air in the laboratory and from this study will determine which nozzle is most suitable to be installed during a stagnant flood in an area. In addition, this innovation is equipped with a long range discharge water system where if the flood water is too high then this system is used to move the flood water. Adjustable arc spray nozzle, field sprinkler, green garden, fountain nozzle, and fan or vapor blower have been tested where green garden spray type and fan or vapor blower will produce high evaporation which is between 9.5 percent to 18 percent but the water discharge from stagnant floods is low at 4.8 liters in 10 minutes. While the fountain spray nozzle also shows a high percentage of evaporation which is up to 15 percent and water discharge is also high is 409 liters in 10 minutes. However, the selection factor of the type of spray nozzle depends on the objective or requirements. The objective of the project is to determine the effectiveness of the sprinkler nozzle design and water discharge before being installed at the site.
