# Water Table Problem - Tanzania
This project focuses on the classic Tanzania water pump prediction challenge from DrivenData. The goal is to predict the operational status of waterpoints across Tanzania using a dataset of collected field data.
## Problem description
The objective is to predict the operating condition of a waterpoint for each record in the dataset. Each row contains information about a waterpoint and the target label tells whether it is:
- `functional`
- `functional needs repair`
- `non functional`
Successful models help identify which wells are likely to fail or need maintenance, which is valuable for managing water infrastructure and improving service reliability.
## Dataset overview
The dataset contains a mix of geographic, construction, management, and water source attributes. These features describe each waterpoint and help model the condition of the infrastructure.
### Features in the dataset
The following fields are included in the training and test data:
- `amount_tsh` - Total static head (amount of water available to the waterpoint)
- `date_recorded` - The date the row was entered
- `funder` - Who funded the well
- `gps_height` - Altitude of the well
- `installer` - Organization that installed the well
- `longitude` - GPS coordinate
- `latitude` - GPS coordinate
- `wpt_name` - Name of the waterpoint if there is one
- `num_private` - Number of private connections
- `basin` - Geographic water basin
- `subvillage` - Geographic location
- `region` - Geographic location
- `region_code` - Geographic location (coded)
- `district_code` - Geographic location (coded)
- `lga` - Geographic location
- `ward` - Geographic location
- `population` - Population around the well
- `public_meeting` - True/False
- `recorded_by` - Group entering this row of data
- `scheme_management` - Who operates the waterpoint
- `scheme_name` - Who operates the waterpoint
- `permit` - If the waterpoint is permitted
- `construction_year` - Year the waterpoint was con …
