The increasing demand for sustainable sanitation solutions underscores the need for innovative systems that conserve water, improve hygiene, and enhance user experience. This project has focused on the design and development of a Smart Urinal System—an automated facility that integrates a motion-switch with a microco-troller-based control unit to regulate flushing mechanisms. By eliminating manual operation, the system has reduced the risk of cross- contamination while optimizing flush cycles based on actual usage to conserve water. The methodology combines hardware design, circuit integration, and microcontroller programming to synchronize the switch inputs with actuator responses. Experimental results have shown that the system reduces water consumption by approximately 30–40% compared to conventional urinals while maintaining high hygiene standards. The study demonstrated that automation in sanitation not only promotes efficient water management but also offers a practical, user-friendly solution to modern hygiene challenges, particularly in regions where access to clean water remains limited
