1. A water shower, comprising:
a shower head connected to a water supply unit, wherein the shower head comprises a plurality of nozzles to discharge water;
at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to capture presence of an object in a specific zone, and wherein the specific zone indicates an area within which the water jets fall from the plurality of nozzles and the at least one sensor detects the presence of the object;
a micro-actuator array comprising a plurality of actuators, wherein the plurality of actuators connects to the plurality of nozzles; and
a controller operatively coupled with the at least one sensor to operate each nozzle of the plurality of nozzles to discharge the water, wherein the controller selectively opens one or more nozzles of the plurality of nozzles based on detection of the object and direct the flow of the water through each nozzle of the one or more nozzles, wherein the controller opens and closes each nozzle of the plurality of nozzles individually by operating corresponding actuator of said nozzle, wherein the micro-actuator array operates in one of a rain, get and pulse mode, and wherein the actuator corresponding to the nozzle moves in a reciprocating manner for opening and closing the nozzle in the rain, get and pulse mode.
