Aquatic pollution is a pressing global challenge, with submerged plastics and organic debris posing serious threats to ecosystems and human health. Existing solutionsâmanual nets, diesel pumps, robotic skimmers, and solar boatsâprimarily target surface waste, leaving underwater debris untreated. This paper presents the design and fabrication of a solar-powered underwater waste collector that integrates a 12V DC pump, PVC framework, floatation drums, and a perforated basket. Powered by a 100W solar panel and battery backup, the system achieves stable floatation, a suction head of 1.8 m, and waste collection efficiency of 92%. CAD modeling in CATIA V5 validated the design, while fabrication trials confirmed affordability (~â¹10,000) and sustainability. The project demonstrates a scalable, community-level solution aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
