Abstract

Globally, there are challenges in minimizing the effects of water pollution and global warming everywhere. We want to apply a sensor network connected to an Esp32 and Tensorflow lite integrated system to map the flood conditions for drone-based water surface waste collection. Finally, a GSM sim 800L Module is incorporated to notify 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 a high chance of tracking water levels and monitoring floods. This innovative technology allows users to 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.
