Form 2 students, teacher win Sabah invention competition with flood warning system


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s regular floods prompted a group of SMK Pekan Telipok students to come up with a device to quickly alert villagers of rising water levels, making them the state champion for an invention competition organised by Shell, recently.

The innovation, called "The Alluvione", was designed by three Form Two girls and their teachers, and stands as a pivotal flood alert system designed to inform communities residing in flood-prone regions about rising water levels in nearby rivers.
