Abstract

Based on monitoring conducted by Department of Environment Malaysia (DOE) in 2013, 341 out of 473 rivers in Malaysia were found polluted. It contributes many type of disease which affects human being and living organism on Earth. Furthermore, it will affects tourism industry in this country. To transforms Malaysia into a high income nation by 2020, tourism sector is a portion of National Key Economic Areas (NKEA) in 10th Malaysia Plan (2011-2015). The Automated River Trash Management System is used to remove trash and debris floats on the river. This system used solar energy as its power source. By using distance sensor as an input and Arduino Uno R3 as microcontroller, an automated river trash collecting system was developed. The result of data is obtained from real test condition under the sun. This prototype may contributes some idea on how to build a system that will reduces river pollution. In real situation, this project will be able to clean our river more effectively.
