Abstract— When people hear the term "pollution," the first thing that comes to mind is usually "air pollution." One of the most under-reported and under-discussed forms of pollution in the world is that generated by non-biodegradable garbage in our water bodies. In India, there is a significant amount of plastic debris on the surface of rivers and lakes. The Ganga River is one of the ten rivers responsible for 90% of the plastic that ends up in the sea (Source: Sky News), and there have been numerous reports of local 'naalas' and lakes becoming poisoned as a result of this rubbish.
This reduces the availability of clean water, resulting in significant depletion of water resources. 3245 hectares of lakes in Hyderabad disappeared between 2001 and 2012.In addition to cleaning the water bodies, preventive measures have been implemented using a virtual drone. We created a solar-powered drone to clean the lake's surface and reduce pollution.
