AI in Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) Systems

Access to clean water, safe sanitation, and hygiene services remains fundamental to human development. Yet, many regions continue to face challenges linked to water contamination, infrastructure gaps, disease outbreaks, and affordability. With AI, IoT, and digital monitoring tools, WASH systems can improve service delivery, optimize resource allocation, enhance water quality surveillance, predict contamination, track sanitation infrastructure performance, and support early outbreak detection. This domain equips learners with foundational and applied competencies in AI-driven WASH planning, microbial risk modelling, IoT-enabled sanitation asset management, fecal sludge management (FSM) analytics, WASH behaviour modelling, and ESG monitoring for safe, inclusive and climate-resilient services.
