Abstract: Ai Enhances Urban Waterways Microplastic Mitigation System Using Filtration, Bioremediation, Renewable Energy, And Ai This invention describes a comprehensive system for mitigating microplastic pollution in urban waterways, integrating advanced filtration, bioremediation, and smart technologies. The filtration unit, equipped with fine mesh filters and self-cleaning mechanisms, captures microplastics as small as a few micrometers, while a bioremediation module utilizes microorganisms to degrade plastics into harmless byproducts. The system employs a sustainable energy model using solar panels and piezoelectric elements, ensuring continuous operation and energy efficiency. An AI-driven control module optimizes performance by analyzing real-time data, predicting maintenance needs, and dynamically adjusting operational parameters. Blockchain technology ensures secure and immutable data logging for monitoring and compliance. Autonomous maintenance units minimize human intervention, while an educational interface promotes public awareness and engagement. Scalable and adaptable for diverse waterway conditions, the invention offers a sustainable, cost-effective, and impactful solution for microplastic pollution, improving both environmental and public health.
