Addressing the Water Crisis in Rural Areas using GIS

KusalJana — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 06:19:41 GMT

Hello community,

I am looking to start a project focused on using GIS to address the water crisis in rural areas. Specifically, I want to explore how spatial analysis can help identify contaminated water sources, map areas with limited access to clean water, and optimize the placement of new water infrastructure.

I am seeking insights, resources, and potential collaboration opportunities from those with experience in humanitarian GIS projects or water resource management.

@KusalJana Allow me to provide a link you may wish to ponder if you are interested in work in East Africa https://kenya.un.org/en/sdgs. Write to one or more of the UN agencies in Nairobi, and let them know what you are interested in.
