Tech Can Solve The "Water Problem" In India. Here's how!

Not knowing the quality of water and appropriate purification methods is a major challenge compared to accessibility to different types of purifiers. “Since approximately half, of the world’s population is still dependent on groundwater, there is a genuine need for a system that regularly monitors and pre-warns about anomalies or degradation in groundwater not just to the authorities but to the entire community around it. This is where saltwater comes in. The Saaf water platform comprises hardware and the dashboard both connected via a backend on IBM Cloud. The hardware is a cellular-enabled, low-powered, plug-and-play unit that checks for different water parameters and sends it to the IBM Watson IoT Platform. In this episode of tech for change listen to our host @offairwithkay speak with Satyam Prakash about how this AI-IoT platform is designed to regularly monitor the groundwater and effectively communicate that information — not just to the authorities, but to the community as well.
