What is Toilet Mapper?
Toilet Mapper is a simple yet a comprehensive platform designed to map and monitor public toilets that have been affected by both short and long rains. During heavy downpours, most toilets located in lands susceptible are at risk of flooding or very steep areas, filling with water, or even collapsing, posing significant dangers to public health and safety. Our platform aims to identify and address these issues by providing real-time data and visualizations from ground.
Key Features:
Interactive Map: Our map allows users to locate public toilets, view their current status, and identify those that are compromised due to adverse weather conditions.
Data Visualization: We offer detailed charts and tables to track various metrics related to toilet conditions, usage, and maintenance.
Dashboard Interface: Using Bootstrap, our user-friendly dashboard presents critical information at a glance, making it easy for users to navigate and understand the data.
Community Input: Users can report issues and updates on toilet conditions, ensuring the map remains accurate and up-to-date.
How It Works:
Mapping: We use GIS technology to map the locations of public toilets.
Data Collection: Information on toilet conditions is gathered through community reports and field surveys.
Analysis: Our platform analyzes the data to identify patterns to identify potential health risks.
Visualization: The results are displayed through an interactive map and detailed dashboards, allowing users to easily access and interpret the information.
Why It Matters:
Ensuring the safety and functionality of toilets is crucial for public health, especially in regions prone to heavy rainfall. By providing timely and accurate data, Toilet Mapper helps local authorities and communities take proactive measures to maintain and repair toilets, preventing health hazards and ensuring safe access for everyone.
