Aqua-sense - Real-time, Cloud-based Clean Water Detection Monitoring & Early Alert solution

全球有超过22亿人无法获得清洁和安全的水。目前的检测方法是被动的、离线的，人为/自然污染原因的结合导致知识贫乏和干预延迟，每年给全球经济造成超过70亿美元的死亡、疾病和生产力损失。我们提出的创新方案使用下一代技术，使公民、政府和其他利益相关者能够实时监测、管理和警报** *清洁水的安全性、可用性和可及性** *，并做出将改变生活的明智决策** *。这项创新直接有助于实现联合国可持续发展目标6和目标3。作为探索阶段的一部分，我们选择了印度的一些农村目标地点，旨在了解水问题在他们日常生活中的社会经济影响、当前的措施、解决方案和利益相关者的参与。我们还打算进行技术试验，以测试我们围绕解决方案设计/使用的技术-商业假设，了解有关部署的法律/政府法规。我们的项目旨在使解决方案不仅在技术上可行，而且对用户来说是负担得起的，合适的和可接受的，同时考虑到他们对采用创新的态度和方法。

Over 2.2 bn people globally have no access to clean and safe water. Current testing methods are reactive, offline and a combination of human /natural contamination causes leads to poor knowledge and delayed intervention causing every year over USD 7 bn loss to the global economy in deaths, diseases, and productivity loss.Our proposed innovation uses next-generation technologies to allow citizens, Govt. and other stakeholders to detect, manage and alert **_safety, availability, and accessibility of clean water,_** **_in a real-time scenario_**, and make informed decisions that will transform lives. The innovation directly contributes to UN SDG Goals 6 & Goal 3\.As part of the discovery phase, we have chosen a few rural targets sites in India and aim to understand the socio-economic implications of water issues in their daily lives, current measures, workaround, and stakeholders' involvement. we also aim to conduct a technical trial to test our techno-commercial assumptions around our solution design /usage, understand legal /governmental regulations around deployment.Our project aims to make the solution not just technically feasible but affordable, appropriate and acceptable to users, keeping in view their attitudes and approach towards the adoption of innovation.
