Please loop in the appropriate people from Paani. I'm going to reach out on DataMeet community for getting more mappers / programmers on board. Will share what's on my mind : Primary Aim : By the first week of the Water Cup, Paani Foundation site should have an interactive web map which shows the participating villages along with contact details for those who want to get involved. Secondary Aim : A map showing locations of 2016 Water Cup's success stories, so that people can check them out. I am hopeful that by now the satellite imagery would have updated and we might actually be able to SEE the work done by zooming in on the web map. So it might be a good idea to put in the exact locations of the RWH work instead of approximate village location. We could also geo-tag aerial / drone footage photos and videos and show a map with the photos on it. This might seem like a tall order but hey this is nothing compared to what the villagers of the involved villages have done. If they can beat drought in 45 days then we can surely map their activites in a few. -- Cheers, Nikhil +91-966-583-1250 Pune, India Self-designed learner at Swaraj University <http://www.swarajuniversity.org> Blog <http://nikhilsheth.blogspot.in> | Contribute <https://www.payumoney.com/webfronts/#/index/NikhilVJ> -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.
