Problem Statement

Unsafe drinking water is a serious challenge faced in many communities, including our own locality. Contaminated water poses health risks due to pollutants like bacteria, heavy metals, and chemical toxins. The urgent need is for a practical, accessible system to detect water impurities and ensure safe consumption.

• To tackle this, the idea is to set up publicly accessible AI-enabled water testing stalls near residential areas and public places. These stalls allow individuals to freely test the purity of the bottled water they purchase before drinking. This empowers people to make safe and informed choices about their drinking water.

Solution

The stalls use advanced AI-powered devices that quickly and accurately analyse water samples using sensors and machine learning. They detect contaminants and provide a clear impurity percentage in an easy-to-understand format with instant results. Additionally, safe purified drinking water is available at these stalls for immediate access, especially when the purchased water is contaminated. These standards will be industrially defined parameters in those machines.

Who Benefits

• Residents gain awareness of water safety and access to safe drinking water.

• Vulnerable populations avoid health risks from contaminated water.

• The community benefits from improved public health and reduced waterborne illnesses.

• Water providers are encouraged toward responsible practices due to increased transparency.

Why This Problem Matters to Me

Having witnessed the effects of unsafe drinking water firsthand in our locality, it is clear that this issue directly impacts community health and well-being. Providing an accessible solution that combines AI technology with public infrastructure can empower residents, foster responsible water consumption, and drive meaningful improvement in water safety.
