The purpose of this project is to map existing clean water sources, as well as crowd source discovery and ongoing validation. In regions of known water scarcity, people can often spend 6hr+ of each day gathering water of varying quality. Our goals are to provide mapping information to locate these sources, as well as community based resources for construction your own water alternative source.This project is solving the Clean Water Mapping challenge.
