The University of Basrah has attracted a group of amateurs consisting of doctors at AlZahraa College of Medicine, engineers and employees interested in the manufacture of electronic models with automated control, as they officially joined the university and formed the Remote control team of the University of Basrah.
The team produced a controlled boat to collect water samples from rivers for study in record time, and it was tested in the Basra River, where it collected (500) ml of water samples efficiently and very quickly.
The official of the International Classifications Unit at the University of Basrah, Dr. Hussein Gati’ Abdul-Sada, stated that the first model of the boat is now ready for use by the university team to control the pollution of the Shatt Al-Arab waters. There are future projects that the team is currently working on, including the flying pharmacy and the controlled agricultural plane that sprays seeds to plant large areas of perennial trees, as well as a special plane that sprays pesticides, and finally boats to take mud samples from the bottom of rivers.
