Machine Learning Enabled Safe Water Optimization Tool for Humanitarian Response

Waterborne diseases are among the primary threats facing people affected by conflict, including in displacement camps and in war-torn areas where critical infrastructure has been disrupted. Providing safe water is essential for limiting excess morbidity and mortality associated with waterborne diseases. However, current guideline protocols for emergency water treatment are, remarkably, not based on any field evidence, and often fail to ensure that water is safe to drink in emergency settings.
