Think about it! How you would feel if you didn't have any clean water to drink.

Putting ourselves in the shoes of an urban Indian in poverty, having no food or access to clean water.
How would that affect your life or mental state?

# data[].attributes.body
In India, 70% of their water sources are undrinkable causing 2.33 million people living in poverty conditions to die from water-borne illnesses each year. Everyone should have access to clean water but poverty and poor infrastructure stand in their way.

Alternatives
1: Section out bodies of water just for drinking, like reservoirs.
2: Bath Houses so there is better access to hygiene.
3: Water filtration devices that everyone has access to.

# data[].attributes.body
We choose to focus on a water filtration device as one of humans core needs is drinking water. but to keep it relevant to the region we decided to make public filtered spouts that sit next to rivers. Making individual water filters would be more labor and cost-intensive and as we are focusing on dense urban areas it makes more sense to create a shared resource.

The filtered water on the left is obviously cleaner!

The Ganges River in India is 2,510 kilometers long, and the middle and lower reaches are the most polluted places. Each water filter is calculated at $30. In the initial stage of the plan, three water filter pumps will be placed in Varanasi, and data will be collected to confirm water quality. If the people generally accept the level, and the plan is successful, more water filters will be placed

There are 8 main rivers with over 400 that run from them in India. Along with over 50 lakes, this gives a lot of opportunity for success. Out of the 497 Indian cities over 100 are built off of a river. If we start out in Varanasi where 37.69% of the pop. are living in slums it would give good indications for success in other cities. Varanasi has a pop. of 1.213 million compared to Indias largest city Mumbai at 12.7 million

Developing countries are most at risk, during, and in the aftermath, of the pandemic. According to UNDP, income losses are expected to exceed $220 billion in developing countries, and an estimated 55 percent of the global population has no access to social protection. These losses will reverberate across societies; impacting education, human rights, and, in the most severe cases, basic food security and nutrition. To support the poorest and most vulnerable, the UN has issued a Framework for the immediate socio-economic response to COVID-19, calling for an extraordinary scale-up of international support and political commitment to ensure that people everywhere have access to essential services and social protection.
