Abstract
This study presents a novel solution in the form of a solar-powered water trash collector, designed specifically for deployment in backwaters and smaller water bodies, to address the critical issues of water pollution and waste management. Focusing on the challenges faced by national rivers, including hazardous polymers, plastic waste, and decaying organic matter, the collector operates under IoT-enabled Bluetooth control using mobile application, incorporating a conveyor belt mechanism for efficient waste collection, particularly targeting prevalent plastic debris in freshwater environments. A notable feature of this solution is its integration of solar power, ensuring self-sustained operation and reduced environmental impact, aligning with the imperative for eco-friendly waste management technologies. Bluetooth control enhances adaptability for smaller water bodies, crucial for precise navigation. The core objective is to provide an effective solar-powered water trash collector tailored for backwaters, addressing the escalating waste production due to population growth. Additionally, a comprehensive waste management approach is proposed, facilitated by an Android application for seamless navigation of integrated trash bins. In conclusion, this study offers an innovative approach to tackle water pollution and waste management, introducing a solar-powered collector uniquely equipped to address backwater ecosystems’ specific challenges while promoting sustainability and environmental well-being.
