Abstract:
Lakes and ponds are the major sources of water that are commonly found in every village and religious place in many
countries. Lakes account for about 0.3 % of the 2.5 % of surface water. In recent years, lakes are slowly vanishing due to weed growth
and lake sediments. Clearing the sediments and muddy lakes costs a heavy price and this is recurrent that needs regular maintenance.
Also, garbage deposition on lake water is a major concern which results in water contamination. Many lakes and ponds have become
non-usable water sources due to weed growth and pollution. Causes of pollution depend on various factors such as garbage deposition,
unnoticed animal and/or human bodies, hazardous chemicals, etc. Mud deposits may be recurrent if not maintained regularly. Various
methods are employed so far to solve these issues. However, the traditional manual approach is inefficient and labor-intensive. In the
proposed work, an automated system is designed to maintain the cleanliness of the water. This is an initiative wherein the boat can
make its own decision while maneuvering and even when it encounters an obstacle and can return to the charging point to recharge by
itself when its battery is low while making sure of very low or minimal weed growth. This is designed to inhibit the growth of weeds
on surface water and to assess the quality of water by measuring pH and turbidity levels regularly. Hence, such a system will definitely
help mankind and animals.
