2 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water - that's 1 in 4 people on our planet. 💧
Every year, 3.4 million people die from water-related diseases, with children being the most vulnerable. In developing countries, water-related illnesses are responsible for:
- 🏥 80% of all diseases
- ⚰️ 50% of child mortality
- 📚 Millions of lost school days due to illness
This AI-powered water quality monitoring system addresses the critical need for early contamination detection and real-time water safety assessment across different countries and regions worldwide.
🏭 Industrial Zones: Monitors heavy metal contamination from manufacturing in regions like China's Pearl River Delta and India's industrial corridors
🌾 Agricultural Areas: Detects nitrate pollution from fertilizer runoff affecting rural communities
🏙️ Urban Centers: Tracks chlorine levels and bacterial contamination in city water supplies
🏜️ Arid Regions: Monitors salinity and desalination byproducts in Middle Eastern water systems
The system intelligently adapts to 8 different regional standards:
| Region | Key Challenges | Standards Applied |
|---|---|---|
| 🇨🇳 China | Industrial pollution, heavy metals | Strict limits (≤0.005 mg/L heavy metals) |
| 🇮🇳 India | Agricultural runoff, monsoon effects | Higher turbidity tolerance (≤5.0 NTU) |
| 🇺🇸 USA | EPA compliance | Very strict turbidity (≤1.0 NTU) |
| 🇪🇺 Europe | EU Water Directive | Lowest chlorine requirements (≥0.1 mg/L) |
| 🕌 Middle East | Desalination impacts | Higher salinity tolerance |
| 🇨🇦 Canada | Pristine sources | Health Canada guidelines |
| 🇦🇺 Australia | Mining/agricultural balance | Moderate flexibility |
| 🌐 WHO | Global baseline | International standards |
