Abstract
India's growing population is placing a strain on environmental cleanliness. Many villages and
cities in India are situated near lakes or rivers, but these water bodies remain underutilized due to
human-induced pollution. The use of plastic, thermocol, and metal contributes to water pollution,
leading to issues and the spread of diseases such as typhoid and intestinal illnesses. Manual cleaning
efforts are often insufficient due to the substantial work involved, and there is a risk of contracting
diseases from the harmful germs present in the sewage.

The objective of this work is to, use a pool cleaner is the best option for the budget conscious
owner instead of hiring someone to clean your pool or using a more labor-intensive machine. It is a
one-time investment meaning it will be beneficial in the long run period of time. This means that it
lets you save on energy, right after finishing. It also requires minimal maintenance. The objective of
this project is to give emphasis on decreasing the consumption of time. To provide with
performance which is fast and very reliable during the river & pool cleaning operation.
 Introduction

● About 71 percent of the earth’s surface is water covered and only about 0.3 percent of our
freshwater is found in the surface water of lakes, rivers, and swamps.
● In developing countries, 70 percent of industrial waste is dumped into water.
● The water cleaning boat has been designed to clean such floating materials from water
which has to operate manually via mobile device.
● This boat can be controlled with arduino via bluetooth.
● It collects garbage from top surface of river and store it in the boats storage.
Problem Definition
Problem Definition:
The project is addressed on societal problems. In the absence of garbage
disposal facilities, the practice of throwing waste into nearby water bodies has
become quite common in recent times and has posed long-term negative impacts
both on biodiversity of the area and as well as on the local surroundings.

Problem Solution:
The most objective of this project is to develop a system to clean the thrash
from surface of water bodies using Arduino uno to ease the method for cleaning
and also result in saving of time and work requirement.

Block Diagram & Explanation of Each Block

● Arduino UNO: Arduino: Acts as the brain of the system.

● Arduino Shield: To control the motors of the boat.

● Bluetooth Module: For wireless communication with a smartphone or tablet.

● Motors & Propeller: To drive the boat. Electric motors or thrusters are used to propel the
boat.

● Servo Motor & Conveyor Belt: It is used to remove debris from the pool surfaces.
Circuit Diagram Explanation with Coding Method
Circuit Diagram Explanation with Coding Method
For this project we are using C++ language.

● Arduino UNO: The Arduino board serves as the main controller for the boat. It processes
data from sensors and controls the boat's motors & conveyor Belt.
● Arduino Shield: This is a motor driver. The shield can be used for motor control, power
management, and additional sensor interfaces.
● Bluetooth Module: A Bluetooth module HC-05 allows for wireless communication
between the boat and a remote-control device like a smartphone or tablet.
● Motors: Electric motors or thrusters are used to propel the boat. It is used to move boats
forward, backward, left & right.
● Cleaning Mechanism: A mechanism for collecting and removing debris or pollutants
from the lake's surface. This could be a net, a conveyor system, or a scoop, depending on
the type of contaminants.
