Project Description: River (Waste Collector) is an innovative and eco-friendly waste collection system designed to clean rivers by removing floating debris and pollutants. The device operates using a servo-controlled mechanism that moves across the water, while an escalator-like system lifts waste from below the surface into a collection container. Controlled via Bluetooth, the system allows remote operation using a smartphone or tablet, making it easy to navigate and target areas with high pollution levels.
Unlike traditional manual cleaning methods, River provides a more efficient, automated, and scalable solution to tackle river pollution. The device is powered by a motor driver and servo motors, ensuring smooth mobility and waste collection without harming aquatic life. Its compact design allows it to operate in both small and large rivers, making it a versatile tool for waste management and environmental conservation.
With millions of tons of plastic and waste entering waterways each year, River offers a sustainable approach to maintaining clean and healthy water ecosystems. By reducing pollution, it helps protect marine life, improve water quality, and support biodiversity. The project aligns with the Life Below Water and Life on Land theme by promoting cleaner water resources and raising awareness about the importance of environmental responsibility.
River is an affordable and accessible solution for cities, organizations, and individuals committed to fighting water pollution and preserving natural ecosystems.
