DrivenData competition to predict status of water pumps in Tanzania # Pump it Up: Data Mining the Water Table DrivenData competition to predict status of water pumps in Tanzania ## Problem description Using data from Taarifa and the Tanzanian Ministry of Water, can you predict which pumps are functional, which need some repairs, and which don't work at all? This is an intermediate-level practice competition. Predict one of these three classes based on a number of variables about what kind of pump is operating, when it was installed, and how it is managed. A smart understanding of which waterpoints will fail can improve maintenance operations and ensure that clean, potable water is available to communities across Tanzania. ## More info * Competition details: drivendata.org * Taarifa data: dashboard.taarifa.org
