Use of Digital Technology to calculate Water Footprints for different Agricultural Products

Source

Source summary

Create a local-language app or website showing the water footprints of agricultural foods or finished products from minimal input, such as a name or camera scan. The source suggests AI, big-data and blockchain technologies as possible tools rather than prescribing all of them. Its purpose is nationwide awareness of everyday consumption's water use, including the importance of where and when water is drawn.

Interactive gamified approach to Ocean Literacy

Create an ocean-literacy game for varied ages and educational levels using simulated INCOIS information services. Players choose sea-going roles, make location/condition decisions and gain or lose points, advance levels and compete on periodic leaderboards without directly changing others' games. Support browser/web use on Windows and Android, with the host institute able to expand the game independently after SIH. Fishing and tsunami-response scenarios are examples.

Use of Digital Knowledge Sharing Platform like Wikis on sharing of water efficient techniques and methods for minimizing water scarcity.

Create an accessible wiki-style water-efficiency knowledge platform, particularly relevant to irrigation-dependent agriculture. Combine peer-reviewed conservation material, research and case studies with community sharing of local knowledge, videos and water-use/savings calculators. The source also proposes social sharing and mobile access for remote users; wider adoption and water savings are intended impacts rather than validated outcomes.

Development of an educational game (web-based and mobile- based) on groundwater conservation and management

Develop a web/mobile game teaching groundwater conservation to schoolchildren, young people and water enthusiasts. Include choices such as artificial recharge, micro-irrigation and crop diversification across scenarios including drought, excess rain and contamination. Award points or coins for decisions, store registered players' scores online and support recognition or certification of water-aware participants for training and awareness programmes.
