About this project

The purpose of the Programme of Activity (PoA) is to provide safe drinking water to households in rural communities. This initiative intends to diminish the reliance on non-renewable biomass for water purification, which would otherwise be necessary in the absence of this project. The project aims to achieve this by deploying automated chlorination units, UV disinfection, and utilizing advanced IoT and AI-ML driven cloud technology for real-time water quality monitoring. The geographical boundary and target are households in rural communities with overhead tank reservoirs that have no definitive chlorination or post UV disinfections. This project will provide online access via App to local inhabitants to monitor their water quality online, on their smart phones, and the distributed water will be free of charge to community. The project is anticipated to yield significant impacts in health, social, environmental, and economic spheres for thousands of individuals in the project area. Furthermore, this project is aligned with various UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to create a comprehensive positive impact.
