EXAMPLE
This study could establish an extensive
understanding of solar power using
photothermal catalysis as a water purifier as
well as address the concerns of problems with
contaminated water. It will help to minimize
the contaminants in water without the need for
costly purification equipment, as well as
ensure safety and prevent diseases. This study
is beneficial to the following:
Marilao residents. This study will benefit the
residents of Marilao, Bulacan by promoting
better health and well-being through open
access to clean water. It will help reduce their
concerns about water filtering and reduce the
costs of water treatment solutions.

EXAMPLE
Community. The findings of this study could be
beneficial especially for communities with
limited access to clean water as it could
improve the quality of water and reduce the
contaminants leading to prevention of
illnesses and improvement of health.
Additionally, it uses readily available
renewable resources making it easily
accessible to the community.
Environment. The study promotes an eco-
friendly water purifier powered by solar energy,
making it practical and accessible. This
approach enhances its positive impact on the
environment by protecting local ecosystems
and ensuring clean water sources.

Future Researchers. The result of this study
could be used as a guide for a larger study and
allow future proponents to expand their
knowledge more on solar-powered water
purification using photothermal catalysis,
refine and improve the methods, and enhance
the effectiveness and applicability of solar
energy-based systems as water purifiers. This
could also serve as a reference for those who
will conduct a similar study.

EXAMPLE
This study shows why a new automated
clothesline is important. This invention is a big
help for people at home because it saves time,
reduces work, and gives people peace of mind.
It’s especially useful for the community and for
anyone who wants an easier and more reliable
way to do laundry. This research also helps the
growing fields of smart home technology and
sustainable living.
Household Residents. This smart clothesline is
a big help for people who live at home. It
removes the worry of leaving laundry outside
in bad weather because its rain sensor
automatically pulls the clothesline inside.
