Water Care: Water Surface Cleaning Bot and Water Body Surveillance System [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Whenever a person hears about pollution, more often than not, the first thought that comes to their mind is air pollution. One of the most under-mentioned and under-discussed pollution globally is that caused by the non-biodegradable waste in our water bodies. In the case of India, there is a lot of plastic waste on the surface of rivers and lakes. The
