POND CLEANING ACCESSORY FOR PADDLE BOAT

Abstract

Rivers and water bodies are the backbone of a human civilization. The world depends on the water bodies for survival and India is no exception. We use waterbodies for drinking, washing, cleaning etc. Without water bodies survival is unimaginable. India is a developing country and uses the water bodies for many purposes. India is also a holy country and uses rivers and lakes extensively during festivals like ganesh visarjan and chath puja. Kumbh mela is also organized on the river banks. This leads to large scale river pollution. The government of India has taken charge to clean warer bodies in the form of projects like “Namami Gange” and “Narmada Bachao”. The major constituent to this pollution is floating plastic. The plastic in water disturbs the aquatic ecosystem risking the life of fishes and marine animals. To reduce the surface water pollution this project aims to design and fabricate an accessory for paddle boats capable of collection floating waste and debris.
