Abstract: This project emphasis on Design and Analysis of the River Water Cleaning Machine. The work has done looking
at the current situation of our national rivers which are dump with crore litters of sewage and loaded with pollutants,
toxic materials, debris etc. The government of India has taken charge to clean rivers and invest huge capital in many river
cleaning projects like “Namami Gange”, ‘’Narmada Bachao’’ and many major and medium projects in various cities like
Ahmadabad, Varanasi etc. By taking this into consideration, this machine has designed to clean river water surface.
Nowadays almost all the manufacturing process is being atomized in order to deliver the products at a faster rate.
Automation plays an important role in mass production. 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 cleaning the river. In
this project we have automated the operation of river cleaning with help of a motor and chain drive arrangement. Some
needs of automation are described below. Here using RF transmitter and receiver are to control the cleaning machine.
Automation can be achieved through computers, hydraulics, pneumatics, robotics, etc., of these sources, pneumatics form
an attractive medium for low cost automation.

Keywords: Motor, solar panel, Bluetooth circuit, Conveyor, Collector, relays.

I. INTRODUCTION

The Over two thirds of Earth's surface is covered by water; less than a third is taken up by land. As Earth's population continues
to grow, people are putting ever-increasing pressure on the planet's water resources. In a sense, our oceans, rivers, and other
inland waters are being "squeezed" by human activities so their quality is reduced. Poorer water quality means water pollution.
This invention relates to skimmer boats, i.e., work boats for collecting and disposing of floating solid waste materials in harbors
and waterways.
The invention is more specifically directed to highly maneuverable vessels equipped with means for picking up floating debris,
means for storing the debris on the vessel, and means for discharging the debris from the vessel to a storage area, which may be
ashore or which may be another vessel such as barge. Many work boats and vessels have been proposed for collection of floating
solid waste and other debris. These may typically be formed as a catamaran-type hull, i.e., a pair of pontoons or sponsors, or as a
monohull, with paddle wheel or screw driver propulsion, and an operator station. In one typical trash skimmer design, one or
more hydraulically powered open mesh conveyors are positioned between the pontoons of a catamaran-type twin-hull vessel.
The problem of flooding and climate change has become outrageous because of its recent trends in our environment today. This
has become a cause of major concern to the world, especially the developing countries.
Water running through a water drainage system mostly carries along waste materials most which are non-biodegradable which not
only cause flooding but also climate change. Overflow of water drainage system occurs when there is a blockage of an end of the
drainage system forcing the water to find its way elsewhere apart from the mapped out drainage system, therefore the running
water spills over the horizontal height of the drainage systems spreading to regions alongside the drainage system, thereby
causing problems such as pushing down of structures such as fences, water logging of farm lands and residential building, etc.
The impurities present in water can cause hazardous and disease. As long as the draining system is considered the function of the
main drainage system is to collect, transport and dispose of the water through an outfall or outlet. Impurities in drainage water can
be only like empty bottles, polythene bags, papers, etc. It’s an Industrial Working Prototype of Entirely Solar Powered Water
Cleaning Mechanism which Can auto collect floating garbage and solid waste from the water surface and collect it into its
floating bin. It can be programmed, scaled up to any size and can operate remotely. The system is indigenous and efficient to tack
river cleaning cause.
a. It’s reduces the human efforts.
b.It’s works fast than Man Power.

III.LITERATURE REVIEW

1] Haller 2009; Lembi 2009 used “management techniques for plants” This technique was used for some specific floating derbies
and plans as well.
There are limitations to the size of waste. And the development of the technique is under limiting stage.
No further development for this technique is mentioned.

2]Y. Sharma;Dec (2011)“universal reverence to water” have stated that, in many religions of the world water is used to celebrate
the occasion which causes pollution of water. This is hazardous for aquatic lives an make the water unusual.
Due to which the concept of removing waste from water is arrived

3] H. Larsen, N.H. Ipsen and L. Ulmgren In many countries, one of the many reasons the major reason behind water pollution is
use of fertilizers in agricultures.
To make the country pollution free the principle instead implemented is “best environmental practice”
The capability of people to make choice for corrective action implementation is mention.

4] Ute S. Enderlein, ussRainer E. Enderlein and W. Peter William stated that there should be strictly ban on the hazardous
compound production as well as their imports which indirectly will help prohibiting the pollution in countries
The toxic compounds may directly attack on human as well as aquatic lives.
However some amount of compound is essential in water.

5] S. Veenstra, G.J. Alaerts and M. BijlsmaICWE in the International Conference on Water and the Environment in the year
January 1992, have stated that, in the newly industrializing cities economic growth is the very basic factor of consideration.
More attention on pollution carrying capacity of environment is preferred. Basic west water treatment plant transferred
1m of west water in to 1-2lit of concentrated sludge.

6] Ganesh U L, et.al. [1] Showed the usage of mechanical drainage cleaner to replace the manual work required for drainage
cleaning system. Drainage pipes are very dirty. Sometimes it is harmful for human life while it is need for cleaning drainage
system. To overcome this problem, they implemented mechanical semi-automatic drainage water cleaner To overcome this issue,
the mechanical semi automatically operated drainage waste cleaner is made which makes water to flow effectively due to regular
filtration of wastages.

1. ARDUINO BOARD
Features of Arduino
• Microcontroller: AT mega328.
• Operating Voltage: 5V.
• Input Voltage: 7-12V.
• Digital I/O Pins: 14• Analog input pins: 6.
• DC current per I/O Pin: 40mA.
• DC current for 3.3V Pin: 50mA.
• Flash Memory: 32KB.
• SRAM: 2KB.
• EEPROM: 1KB.
• Clock Speed: 16MHz.
Rather than requiring a physical press of the reset button before an upload, the Arduino Uno is designed in a way that allows it to
be reset by software running on a connected computer. One of the hardware flow control lines (DTR) of the ATmega8U2/16U2 is
connected to the reset line of the ATmega328 via a 100 Nano farad capacitor. When this line is asserted (taken low), the reset line
drops long enough to reset the chip. The Arduino software uses this capability to allow you to upload code by simply pressing the
upload button in the Arduino environment. This means that the boot loader can have a shorter timeout, as the lowering of DTR
can be well-coordinated with the start of the upload.
