Abstract	In this paper River Depth Monitoring Robot with Waste Collection Feature is designed to monitor water depths in rivers and identify hazardous areas for water tourism, while also actively cleaning the river by collecting floating waste. The robot uses an Arduino microcontroller, a 100 RPM DC motor, and an L298N motor driver for propulsion, powered by an 8.4V Li-ion battery. The robot is equipped with a waterproof sonar depth sensor for measuring water depth and a GPS module for real time location tracking. The system will classify water depth as Normal (within 3 feet), Medium (3 to 6 feet), and Dangerous (greater than 6 feet), and it sends real-time alerts with GPS coordinates to a Bluetooth mobile app. Additionally, the robot features a net attached to its rear end, designed to collect floating waste and help clean the river as it moves. This dual purpose robot not only ensures water safety but also contributes to environmental sustainability by removing waste from the water. This report discusses the design, implementation, and potential applications of this river monitoring and cleaning robot.
