Abstract

Globally, there are challenges in minimizing the effects of water pollution and global warming everywhere in the world. In order to map the flood conditions, we want to apply a sensor network connected to a Esp32 and Tensorflow lite integrated system for drone-based water surface waste collection. Finally, a GSM sim 800L Module incorporated is used to send notifications to the user about the monitored conditions, such as trash level and other data. An ultrasonic sensor is utilized to detect the water level. The outcome shows that there is a high chance of tracking water levels and monitoring floods. By using this innovative technology, users can receive warnings and be warned remotely. The Inception-v3 model on clean and unclean water images obtained 97% accuracy on testing USING Inception-v3 and using the proposed circuit diagram a prototype is developed for possible deployment in such water resource region for possible operation and application is presented in the paper.
