An Autonomous Aquatic System for the Removal of Water Hyacinth

Abstract

Nowadays, the very common problem in the stored water bodies is the unwanted aquatic plants. They grow on the surface of the water. The unwanted plant grows on water surface is called water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). It is very harmful for water body as it has very diverse effect on the aquatic life of water body. Researchers have estimated that over 8 months, 10 water hyacinth plants can reproduce into 655,360 plants, covering approximately half a hectare. Its capacity to grow quickly and form dense mats on the surface of the water can cause streams to become blocked and aquatic habitats to be degraded. The water body became poisonous due to water hyacinth contamination. The contaminated water cannot remain useful for the drinking or agriculture purpose. This proposed system possible options for the sustainable management of water hyacinth and gives a general overview of the difficulties involved in removing it. Water hyacinth removal is a difficult task that calls for a multidisciplinary strategy, such as putting dangerous chemicals into water bodies or by backhoe machine, but it cannot useful for the water bodies which is deeper. This abstract provides the brief idea of the removal of water hyacinth effectively by the help of autonomous water body drone which is cost efficient and which can be controlled by the remote control. It consists of collection mechanism which is the part of drone. It collects the water hyacinth and put it into the waste bin attached to the drone.
