Pollution plays a major part in global warming and water pollution stands alarming for all living organisms in the world. Water pollution is killing tens of millions of Indians and nearly 19.3% of Indian population does no longer have access to clean water. The toxicity of Indian water our bodies are increasing except India’s boom and urbanization. It is located that out of general water available, round 70% of surface water in India is not worthy for consumption. India has a mortality fee of 4 lives according to year because of lack of sanitation and hygiene. Researchers have found that the closing purpose of water pollution is the plastics. In order to overcome these issues, a smart trash boat is designed in this paper which can accumulate all the floating and semi floating wastes specifically plastics from the urban drain from any water bodies. This system is enabled with Artificial Intelligence and image processing which is capable of classifying, managing, accumulating and indicating the status of trashes along with its statistics.
