River Trash Collection Without Any External Power

• Surface trash is directed towards the collection area on the coast in multiple stages to allow maritime traffic through.
• A Japanese fountain, Shishi-odoshi based design transfers the accumulated trash into the trash bin.
• The mechanism requires water coming from higher elevation. This is achieved by high pressure river water using a ram pump. This pump works without any external power source.
