Studies have been conducted on how to grasp the pollution in river or lake. Rivers, lakes, and seas are well known for attracting places towards local people and tourist. Rivers, lakes, and seas are the resources of freshwater to human on their daily needs such as drinking, food resources and clean water. Water plays a major role in human daily life. Water pollution, plastic pollution and waste pollution tend to give lots of negative impact toward ecosystem. Human kept throwing waste and rubbish to rivers and seas instead of proper places. Due to these causes, the amount of freshwater decreased every year and aquatic nature been affected and die from poisons and toxics. There is a need for a water collector product that will help collect rubbish from river into rubbish bin. The objective of the project is to design and develop a conveyor belt for a water trash collector. The mechanism of conveyor belt is to transport, collect and gather rubbish to garbage bin and to clean the river from harming aquatic and human daily life. By creating an improved conveyor belt, it is easier and effectively collect the rubbish. Conveyor belt is made from plastics and metals and used DC motor to run the conveyor belt with 12 Volt lead-acid batteries. For the result, it will be expected to collect a lot of rubbish and clean the water in the river. In this point, people will ensure to get freshwater in much longer time and aquatic nature will be ensure from die by drastic pollution and extinction
