Problem brief

Background

Access to safe drinking water remains a significant challenge in many rural and mining-affected regions of Jharkhand. Groundwater and surface water sources are often contaminated by suspended particles, excessive minerals, microbial impurities, and mining-related pollutants, making them unsafe for consumption. Additionally, the lack of real-time water quality monitoring makes it difficult for communities to assess water safety and take timely corrective actions. There is a need for an affordable and intelligent solution that can both monitor water quality and purify, contaminated water. A smart water purification and quality monitoring system can help ensure access to safe drinking water, improve public health, and support sustainable water management in underserved communities.

Description

The proposed solution is a smart water purification and quality monitoring system designed to provide safe drinking water in rural and mining-affected areas. The system continuously monitors key water quality parameters such as pH, turbidity, TDS, and temperature while utilizing a multi-stage purification process to remove impurities, harmful contaminants, and pathogens. Integrated with IoT and real-time monitoring capabilities, the system provides water quality insights,generates alerts for unsafe water conditions, and ensures the delivery of clean and safe drinking water. The solution aims to improve public health, enhance water accessibility, and support sustainable water resource management in underserved communities.

Expected Solution

Develop a smart, cost-effective, and portable water purification system capable of monitoring and improving water quality in real time. The system should measure key parameters such as pH,turbidity, TDS, and temperature, while employing appropriate filtration and purification technologies to remove contaminants and make water safe for drinking. The solution should provide real-time water quality information, generate alerts for unsafe conditions,and ensure the delivery of clean drinking water for rural and mining-affected communities. It should be easy to deploy, energy-efficient and suitable for operation in remote areas with limited infrastructure.
