Abstract

One of the most important sources of life is water. It is common knowledge that water is the source of life and that clean water is essential for life to exist on Earth. The majority of these pollutants are poisonous and harm all dependent organisms as well as water resources such as lakes, rivers, and seas. The marine ecology is impacted by these plastic wastes. Therefore, it is essential to clean up the trash in the ocean and eliminate water pollution. The majority of the time, cleaning the water bodies by hand with human labor takes a lot of time and money. To address this, the prototype for a surface waste collection system in water bodies is one such system, which has a systematic method to remove the waste debris from water bodies with comparatively less human interference. The architecture of this machine consists of a cleaner mechanism for collecting and removing waste from water bodies using a belt-driver mechanism. The conveyor belt that is powered by a battery continuously rotates in a backward direction by taking water debris into the collector bin. A solar panel is used to charge the battery, which is a great way to use renewable energy. The boat moves in the direction given by the operator through a wireless device.
