The Water Hackathon is a two-day marathon software coding event in multiple global locations bringing together software developers from all over to hack on real-world water problems. The event is to be simultaneously conducted in five other locations across the globe. The World Bank is partnering with the Indian Institute of Human Settlements (IIHS) and India Water Portal to organise and conduct the Water Hackathon in Bangalore for the South Asia region, where the aim is to develop software applications for mobile phones that might be useful for the water community and/or for the general public.
