Water bodies have a huge aquatic ecosystem within them. Any high concentration of suspended solids can cause numerous issues for aquatic life by blocking light from reaching submerged vegetation. Hence, there is a need for a solution to remove this trash from the water bodies. The Water cleaning boat Project is an endeavour to clean water bodies with an ambitious mission: to achieve cleaner water-bodies that are free from suspended solids; to reduce human intervention and human labour. This project gives a solution of automated river cleaning with the help of a tread mill arrangement. The RF transmitter and receiver are used to control the cleaning machine. The battery energizes the conveyer belt to clean suspended solids in the river, then is stored in the boat itself to aside. A camera affixed to the boat helps in monitoring the movement of the boat in the necessary directions. The Water-boat Project not only concentrates on technology but also believes that using Science, Technology and Community it is possible to build a sustainable environment.
