Abstract - The aim of this project is to focuses on

“SOLAR POWERED FLOATING WATER TRASH
REMOVAL BOT”. In India water pollution is increasing
day by day so this is becoming significant issue for rivers,
ponds etc. This mainly accommodates impurities like
waste in water debris, plastics, garbage on floating water
surface. These pollutants may affect on health of
individual and also affect on lifetime of aquatic animals.
This Project depends on sustainable power sources, so
there's decrease being employed of non-sustainable
power sources like oil, petroleum, electricity and
everyone kind of mineral sources. So, using solar may
help saving energy. So, this project will help to reduce the
water pollution on due to floating bodies.
