WaterWisePrototype

Development of a Gamified Social Platform for Groundwater Conservation

Overview

WaterWisePrototype is a gamified social platform designed to promote groundwater conservation through engaging and interactive tasks. Users can participate in water conservation challenges, earn rewards, and track their progress in real-time. The platform aims to educate and encourage sustainable water management practices.

Features

• Task-based Water Conservation Challenges: Users complete real-world tasks related to water conservation (e.g., rainwater harvesting, reducing water waste) and share proof via pictures or videos.
• Reward System with In-game Currency: Users earn in-game currencies for completing tasks, which can be used to purchase digital rewards like stickers or badges.
• Leaderboard System: A daily leaderboard tracks user achievements based on task completion, encouraging competition and engagement.
• Certificate-Based Milestones: Users receive certificates after completing a certain number of tasks, acknowledging their contributions to groundwater conservation.
• Real-time Progress Tracking: Users can monitor their progress and compare with peers through live updates and rankings.

Problem Resolution

• Promotes Sustainable Water Management: The game educates players on real-world groundwater conservation techniques, guiding sustainable decisions in scenarios like drought, surplus rainfall, and contamination.
• Engaging Educational Tool: It offers an interactive and fun way for schools and institutions to raise awareness about groundwater issues, with quizzes and certifications enhancing learning outcomes.

Tech Stack

Frontend Development

• React: Utilized for building an interactive and responsive user interface for the web-based game & community platform.

Backend Development

• Express.js: Employed for creating RESTful APIs and managing server-side logic, enabling seamless communication between the frontend and backend.
• Rocket.rs: Web framework for Rust that is type-safe and secured.

Database Management

• Surreal DB: Multi-model database that combines the flexibility of NoSQL with the power of SQL for real-time, highly scalable applications. Can be run on bare metal or cloud, with support for ML.

Real-time Performance Optimization

• Docker: To ensure consistent environments and simplify deployment across multiple platforms.

Security and Authentication

• JWT (JSON Web Token): Implemented for secure user authentication.
