Abstract

River bodies have been polluted indiscriminately by being subjected to waste generated by industries as well as human being and apart from the soluble waste there is a lot of insoluble waste which creates a layer on the river body which not only affects the quality of water but also prevents the sunrays to move down the bed of the river seriously affecting the aquatic life within the river. This huge amount of sewage loaded with pollutants, toxic material and debris has also led to shortage of potable water to be used by humans and poses health hazard to the flora and fauna as well as humans. The government of India has taken efforts toward cleaning of river bodies by investing huge capital on projects like Namami Gange, Narmada Bachoo and various other major and medium projects in various cities like Ahmadabad, Varanasi etc. Considering the above factor we have designed and fabricated a machine which is able to flush out the floating waste from the river bodies. The machine is automated with the help of an RF module. This RF module controls the dc motors fabricated on the machine and helps the machine to move ahead and make various movements on the river to collect the floating garbage. The machine is supplemented by a garbage bin which accumulates the garbage collected. The machine is able to collect floating garbage and thus can be supplemented to be used to clean various small water bodies which otherwise may not be cleaned due to want of funds.
