The Lake Monitoring and Cleaning Boat by Aqua Sweep is a solar-powered, eco-friendly innovation designed to preserve water ecosystems while ensuring sustainability and low operational costs. Powered by renewable solar energy, the boat operates efficiently with minimal environmental impact.
At its core, the boat features an automatic trash collection system using a mesh conveyor belt that gathers floating debris and waste, keeping lakes, ponds, and reservoirs clean and pollution-free. In addition, it is equipped with advanced water quality monitoring sensors—including pH, TDS, and turbidity sensors—that provide real-time insights into water health. The collected data, along with cleaning status, is clearly displayed on an integrated LCD screen for easy monitoring.
For versatile operation, the boat supports RF remote control for manual navigation and includes an option for automated cleaning cycles, making it adaptable to different needs. The system is built on a robust foundation using BCT Uno CH34 and BCT Nano BOT microcontrollers, with seamless sensor integration for accurate data collection and display. A BCT 7809V regulator ensures stable power supply, while two 12V BCT lithium-ion battery packs—one dedicated to sensors and controllers, and the other for motor movement—guarantee reliable and efficient performance.
Designed as a sustainable, non-invasive solution, Aqua Sweep’s Lake Monitoring and Cleaning Boat offers a smart approach to water conservation, combining innovation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
