The Problem
Our planet is 71% water, yet thousands of people go without fresh water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning every day. The creators of Aquaya needed help with a database development solution to bring new, clean water resources to the people. Communities of volunteers would use this database, scientists, doctors, civil engineers, innovators, and many others to pursue the fundamental human rights to clean fresh water. The non-profit needed more than just a primary database; they required a full-featured website that could present information to the masses and share resources with other organizations to bring quality water to those who need it most. The website would need to be user-friendly and easy to navigate and collect information from. The website needed to include details about organizations, resources, and other things that users might need to filter by. Whatever solution they came to, it needed to feature a user-friendly, customized interface for their end-user. Further, the final product needed to be able to provide education on the issues at hand relating to accessing water and sanitation worldwide. This project meant more than coding and designing a database.
