Abstract :In this study, an innovative water park concept slide that aims to keep water consumption low was designed and produced. Traditional water parks are out of use at a rate of approximately 65% because they are inefficient in water and energy consumption. This work will be a pioneering step in the sector with the combination of environmentally friendly design, smart water management systems, and sustainable technologies. Users entering the 43% inclined butterfly body will reach a speed of 16 m/sec while performing the vertical swing movement and will move with an acceleration of 0.5m/sec2 on the horizontal axis. Since the high-pressure water coming from the nozzles on the slide will be used only when there is movement, approximately 70% water and 50% energy savings will be achieved and sliding safety will also be increased. The proposed saving system will be produced using the inverter, integrated circuit, smart card, and software developed to be added to the pump and will be adapted to all slides. The fact that this study is a first in the sector will inspire other water parks and lead to the development of projects that consider sustainability and savings issues.
