Have you ever forgotten your water bottle while hiking? Or found yourself in a remote area without knowing where to find a water source? In such moments, WaterWise is your go-to solution.
For a group project for university, we created WaterWise, an app designed to track and save the locations of water sources. It also offers navigation to help users reach these vital locations, making it a must-have tool for outdoor enthusiasts, water conservationists, and emergency services.
