We would like to solve the “Clean Water Mapping” problem. Access to drinking water remains a significant challenge in rural areas of the developing world where its users, type of access and access limitations are largely unknown. Our target is to develop a crowd-sourcing app through which people will monitor and map Clean Water Sources. Hence access to drinking water will be ensured in each and every corner of the World.
2. Basic Information
• About the project:
• Name: Water Water Everywhere, Mark It Safe if You Care.
• Area of Challenge: Clean Water Mapping (Category: Earth)
• Impact of this Project:
• Importance:
• To ensure water access for 783 million people who do not have access to clean and safe water. [1]
• 443 million school days are lost each year due to water-related diseases. [2]
• More than 8.4 lakhs people die from Water related diseases.
• Targeted User:
• The 783 million people who do not have access to clean and safe water.
• People Working with Water Resource Management.
• How this Project is Creative and different:
• An app for Mapping Safe Drinking through Crowdsourcing.
• Will be able to identify water stress for a specific Area rather a whole country as traditional systems.
• Free access for the Contributors (Will provide information) and Seekers (Will search for water source).
• Visualized the Map so that everyone can understand.
• Predict about next Drought Cycle using the Water level data.
