Abstract:
Water-Related challenges, including scarcity, contamination, leakage, and flooding, significantly impact communities worldwide. This paper presents a mobile application that leverages crowdsourcing and geolocation technologies to enable users to report and track water issues in real-time. Through an intuitive interface, citizens can submit location-based reports enriched with descriptions, photos, and severity levels. These reports are aggregated, validated, and displayed on an interactive map, providing authorities, NGOs, and policymakers with valuable insights into critical water-related problems. The platform fosters community participation and data-driven decision-making, facilitating proactive interventions and sustainable water resource management. By bridging the gap between citizens and stakeholders, the application enhances response efficiency and contributes to long-term water sustainability efforts.
