Project summary

Urban water systems are increasingly strained by the impacts of climate change, growing populations, and resource constraints, driving the need for more integrated and sustainable management solutions. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are central to driving this transformation, leveraging their adaptability and significant impact on the industry. However, many SMEs lack access to comprehensive Information Systems (ISs) that combine data on government policies, industry trends, and water management initiatives, limiting their ability to implement sustainable practices.

This project introduces Sustain WaterBot, a Chatbot powered by Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). By leveraging open-source technologies, Sustain WaterBot offers SMEs an affordable, scalable, and sustainable tool to adopt eco-friendly water practices while improving operational efficiency and informed decision-making.
