The document describes NeerJaal, a village-based interactive system in India for collecting drinking water and sanitation data. It is the first such system that allows any person at the village level to send data in any language anytime. Villagers can provide information on water quality, availability, and sources through community testing and inputs. The data is processed and made available online through a multilingual website and mobile app. The system aims to empower communities to monitor their drinking water through collective and digital means.
