Water pollution has been major cause of environmental concern. Most of the water bodies like rivers, lakes, streams, etc. are highly polluted. Floating waste is a major source of pollution. Due to increase in water pollution in the form to waste debris; it is hampering the life of aquatic animal and make their life in danger. In many cases, those water bodies turned into landfills and get wasted. The work has done looking at the current situation of our national rivers which are dump with crore liters of sewage and loaded with pollutants, toxic materials and floating solid waste etc. By taking this into consideration, this project “Design & Development of Solar Operated Mechanism to Collect Waste & Clean the River” is to remove floating waste like garbage, debris and solid waste from water bodies and make it clean. This will ultimately result in reduction of water pollution and lastly the aquatic animal's death to these problems will be reduced. The main aim of the project is to reduce the man power, time consumption for cleaning the river. In this project we have used Solar Panel it will supply Power for Machines operations and store the energy in the battery and used this energy for river cleaning with the help of a motor and chain drive arrangement.
