Abstract
Water pollution is one of the most serious environmental challenges affecting aquatic life and human health. Rivers, being a major source of freshwater, are continuously polluted by domestic waste, plastics, and industrial effluents. To overcome this problem, an automated River Cleaning Machine with Depth Measuring System is proposed. The developed model consists of a floating structure equipped with a conveyor belt mechanism that collects floating waste materials from the water surface. The system is operated through an Arduino microcontroller, which controls the movement of DC motors and processes depth information from an ultrasonic sensor. The depth measurement feature helps monitor the riverbed level and analyze water conditions for future environmental studies. This dual-function design reduces human effort, improves cleaning efficiency, and provides useful data for river maintenance. The machine is low-cost, energy-efficient, and suitable for small and medium water bodies.
