India is a holy country and during festival like Ganesh Visarjan, Navratri, Durga Puja and daily waste dumping etc. there is a lot of water pollution done on nearby water bodies. These water pollutions are a very serious concern, for e.g.: Futala Lake. Due to increase in water pollution in the form of waster debris, it is hazardous to the life of aquatic animals as they can consume it and choke or die instantly. Not only the aquatic animals but also humans are in danger due to this problem. As this water is used for irrigation and drinking purpose it is not safe for us humans. This water when used for irrigation can infect the vegetable and can cause health issues for us. If drink then it can cause respiratory as well as diseases caused by water like jaundice and can also cause skin disease. As per a report published every year, we dump 29 crore liters of sewage waste in the Ganga river. Government and NMC are constantly working to remove the waste from these water bodies. One such moment was started by NMC to clean the Nag river in Nagpur in 2013. In total over 5,000 tons of garbage and other waste was removed from a 17.68km stretch of the Nag river, starting from Ambari’s overflow point to the confluence with Pili River beyond Bharatwada during a 15-day campaign. While doing this The Times of India newspaper gave the report of the amount of waste daily being dumped in the river to be around a ton. The major population to be dumping waste in the rivers are those living in the slum areas. Every year the NMC is approximately removing at least half a ton of waste from nearby lakes. Our project focuses mainly cleaning the floating waste on the surface of these water bodies, generally plastics waste. In this project “DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF AUTOMATIC RIVER CLEANING SYSTEM” there is a conveyor belt which is located on the front side of the boat and would be driven with the help of two rotor motors. The frame of the boat is entirely made from U-PVC pipes (of 5mm thickness) the conveyor belt is having dimensions of 1300X1000X500 (mm) (LXBXH). At the back side of the boat a tank made from plastic is used which is used to collect all the garbage collected from the water body, the dimensions of the tank could be varied as per the limitations of the length and breadth of the boat and its volume would vary accordingly. The collection bin is removable and could be removed for safe disposal of the waste in it. To run the boat a propeller is provided which would turn in either clockwise or anti-clockwise direction so as to make the boat go in forward or backward direction. The boat is going to be operated by a remote control (wired). The waste collected would then be bought back to the shore and from there the collection bin would be removed from the boat and then the waste would be collected in a garbage truck and then will be disposed off safely in the dumping yard.
