Description

Water scarcity in India is a growing crisis that threatens the livelihood of many rural communities within the country. To begin addressing the problem of excessive groundwater use, a portal including an interactive dashboard was created to visualize and track groundwater wells in five different villages in the northwest region of India which is primarily a desert region. Design science research principles were followed to construct this design artifact to assist rural Indian communities and stakeholders with understanding local groundwater behavior. This dashboard can help prompt regulatory or policy actions that may help manage sustainable groundwater management and water quality. The design artifact has gone through preliminary evaluation and improvement.
