Abstract

Water is the most vital source for sustainability of life. River water quality in rapidly urbanizing Asian cities threatens to damage the resource base on which human health, economic growth and poverty reduction all depend. This project emphasis the design and fabrication of unmanned river water surface trash collecting machine. In this project we have fabricated the remote operated river cleaning machine. The main aim of the project is to reduce the man power, time consumption for surface trash collection the river. An automated the operation of river cleaning with help of a motor and chain drive arrangement is developed.
