PROBLEM STATEMENT

challenge, upstream water users tend to have more than

Build a tool that enable the tracking of water abstraction

by individual mesqas, which could help resolve this

problem and support a more equitable water distribution

system, consequently helping to increase irrigation

efficiencies.
