# 🚰 Maji Ndogo Water Crisis: Data-Driven Resource Allocation & Infrastructure Audit ## Executive Summary Maji Ndogo faced a widespread water access crisis impacting millions of residents. Local authorities lacked actionable visibility into which water sources were operational, which needed immediate repair, and how resources should be allocated. Through a multi-stage data analysis pipeline, this project transformed raw, unorganized field survey data into clear insights. The resulting strategy provides a prioritized roadmap for infrastructure repair, pipeline development, and data integrity monitoring across the region. --- ## 🎯 Project Objectives & Scope * **Assess Infrastructure:** Classify and quantify all active and inactive water sources (wells, shared taps, public hydrants, river access). * **Identify Bottlenecks:** Analyze queue times and access constraints affecting local communities. * **Audit Data Integrity:** Uncover anomalies, inconsistencies, or potential field reporter misconduct to ensure reliable decision-making. * **Formulate Actionable Solutions:** Deliver targeted recommendations for government intervention and resource deployment. --- ## 📊 Key Findings & Business Impact ### 1. Water Source Distribution & Queue Times * Identified that a major percentage of the population relies on high-traffic **shared taps** and **wells**, leading to severe daily wait times in rural areas. * Standardized queue time metrics to pinpoint communities requiring immediate infrastructure expansion. ### 2. Infrastructure Status & Pollution * A significant number of well pumps were flagged as non-functional or contaminated, requiring urgent biological/chemical treatment before safe consumption. * Strategic priority was assigned to repairing existing wells, as this provides a faster, more cost-effective fix than building new infrastructure from scratch. ### 3. Data Audit & Corruption Detection * Applied statistical filtering and cross-referencing to audit field sur …
