Abstract
India is holy country & during lots of festival like ganesh visarjan, navratri
durga puja & mainly Siahnsth kumbhmela there is lots of water pollution of
Godavari River at Nashik. The water pollution is very important problem in
rivers, ponds and water bodies near Godavari River at Nashik. Due to
increase in water pollution in the form to waste debris; it is hampering the
life of aquatic animal and make their life in danger. Similarly sometimes
the aquatic animal tends to eats surface waste debris considering it as a
food; which ultimately cause the death of animals. Due to polluted water
is are many skin deices to human kind are observed. So that to reduce the
water pollution we are trying to make river cleanup machine. “River
cleanup machine'' a machine which involves the removing the waste debris
from water surface and safely dispose from the water body. The river
cleanup machine works on hydropower to extract waste water debris,
plastics & garbage from Godavari River at Nashik.
