Water pollution generally refers to the presence of harmful and objectionable materials in water, originating from sources such as sewers, industrial wastes, and rainwater runoff, in concentrations sufficient to render the water unfit for use. These pollutants can be broadly categorized as dissolved, suspended, and floating materials. Among them, floating debris includes plastic materials, wood, leaves, synthetic fibers, leather, and other lightweight substances capable of remaining afloat. In standard water treatment processes, mechanical primary treatment—which includes the removal of such floating debris—typically precedes biological or physicochemical treatment. It is considered more effective and environmentally responsible to remove floating debris directly from open channels before it enters larger water bodies. While vessel-based systems for debris removal already exist, they often suffer from high implementation and maintenance costs, significant energy consumption, and a reliance on operator intervention. Therefore, there is a clear need for an economical, low-power, and operator-independent system specifically designed for removing floating debris from open water channels.
