Dear Colleagues:

An important study from Syed Imran Ali:

Forecasting point-of-consumption chlorine residual in refugee settlements using ensembles of artificial neural networks . npj Clean Water, June 2021. This paper establishes the basis for the machine-learning analytics used in the  Safe Water Optimization Tool , a new web-based tool that helps aid workers generate evidence-based and site-specific water chlorination targets for ensuring household water safety in refugee/IDP settlements. Based on our read of the literature, we believe this is one of the first concrete applications of an AI technology in the emergency WASH space.
