Blocked and contaminated drainage canals cause severe flooding, the spread of diseases, and damage to infrastructure. In response to these challenges, this study developed a solid waste collector designed specifically for drainage canals. The machine features an impeller to agitate stagnant water and a motor-driven conveyor equipped with claws to efficiently collect floating debris. The system aims to prevent blockages, improve water flow, and minimize health and environmental risks associated with clogged drainage systems. By assessing the machine’s performance in terms of waste collection capacity, water agitation effectiveness, and energy consumption, the study seeks to offer a cost-effective and sustainable solution for urban drainage management. This technology is intended to support cleaner waterways, reduce flooding incidents, and promote better urban sanitation practices across affected communities.enThesis
