Leveraging Satellite Data for Water Resource Tracking and Rural Assistance in the Sub-Saharan Desert

Ramona Devi

Abstract: This paper introduces a comprehensive solution aimed at assisting underprivileged individuals in the Sub-Saharan desert by utilizing satellite data provided by NASA and other companies, to track the availability of water resources in their vicinity. The proposed solution comprises three interconnected stages: a Two-way SMS Hotline communication system, a dedicated website, and a user-friendly software app. These stages are designed to bridge the information gap, providing essential data on clean water, weather, vaccination drives, and awareness initiatives in rural and underserved areas. Accurate forecasted data is integral to the system to alert, warn, and make residents aware of the necessary steps to ensure their health and safety.
