Machine Learning-Driven Water Potability Assessment in Indian Region
摘要
Water quality assessment is crucial for public health, particularly in India, where access to safe drinking water is often compromised. Traditional methods of water testing are time-consuming and costly. This study explores the use of machine learning (ML) techniques to assess water potability across Indian regions, aiming for a more efficient and scalable solution. By analyzing datasets containing water quality parameters like pH, turbidity, microbial contamination, and chemical pollutants, ML models such as Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, and K-Nearest Neighbor are trained to predict whether water is potable or non-potable. The study also incorporates geographic information systems (GIS) to identify high-risk areas prone to contamination. The machine learning-driven approach offers faster, cost-effective, and accurate water quality assessments, facilitating real-time monitoring and alerts. This can aid policymakers, environmental agencies, and communities in improving water management practices and ensuring access to safe drinking water.
