REMOTE OPERATED EQUIPMENT FOR CLEANING UP DEBRIS IN LAKES

The most sacred river in the world and the national river of India “Ganga River” is the soul of India and is Holy River in India. If we look at current cleanliness and hygienic status of our national river it is very shocking we dump about 290 million liters of sewage in Ganga which is loaded with pollutants, toxins. We also dump tones of municipal solid waste. The government Of India took charge to clean rivers at Ahmedabad, Varanasi, etc. All of us know about the Ganga Abhiyan. Similarly, the villages and some cities in all states of India which have many small & big lakes and maximum villages does not use the water of lake for farming as well as drinking and daily uses due to the maximum amount of garbage present in the lake water by taking this into consideration. Our main motive is to clean the lake water for that purpose we are making efficient lake garbage collector by using electric powered equipment. In this we are using remotely operated equipment mounted on floating member and platform driven by an electric motor which is powered by rechargeable battery with the conveyor attached to it for collecting garbage from the lake. This project is conceived on the basis of literature study and research articles in different journal and has lot of more future scope. This project is designed to clean up polluted water bodies and is very useful for the society. For example there are 81 lakes in Bangalore in which most of the lakes are filled with debris which pollutes the lakes, therefore it has to be maintained continuously to be used further.
