Hydraware

A cross-platform solution toward a more hydro-knolwedgable world.

Aim

• To give the user a quick and easy overview of the fresh water supply and hydrological analysis of their locality with the help of governmental organisations like National Institute of Hydrology along with Machine Learning to predict any future shortages
• Effortless access of important announcements through push notifications
• Build a gap between water suppliers and the populace
• Give users an understanding of the water network in their area (includes STP, water processing so on)

Hydraware bridges the gap between water networks and the public, promoting transparency and responsible water use. Imagine understanding your water’s journey from source to treatment, participating in discussions about sustainable practices, and receiving alerts about potential outages – all within a single, user-friendly app.

Future plans

-Additional features: Integrating features like water quality analysis, personalized water-saving recommendations, and gamification elements to encourage sustainable habits.
-Partnerships: Collaborating with water conservation organizations, educational institutions, and businesses to promote responsible water use.
-Core features: 1. Machine Learning equipped system to predict freshwater supply in a particular region through local hydrological organisations data
                2. Multilingual support to ensure the reachability of the app to non-native English speakers
                3. Set up of SOS emergency helpline numbers with the partnership of local authorities and services

• OpenStreetMap integration to view your current location and future applications with ML for freshwater availability predictions.
• FirebaseAuth and FirebaseFirestore implementation for easy authentication process and db management
• Search Forum for users to post issues in their locality, contains an upvote feature that will give the authorities an idea on the severity of the issue
• SOS feature that will provide with immediate helpline numbers (like the locality’s hydrological commision or freshwater maintainer) in case of great distress
• Future ambitions of the app like ML integration to show the hydro-map of the locality to much more!
