What’s a hackathon? A hackathon event is an intensive marathon of brainstorming and programming, where software developers and designers collaborate to create new tools for solving a set of problems. At Water Hackathon, all the problems will related water and sanitation, flooding and drought, irrigation and watershed management. We are currently collecting these problems from communities and water experts from around the world. Do you have a problem that needs solving? Click here

Where are the events? WaterHackathon will be hosted simultaneously in ten locations, including, among others, Bangalore, Lagos, Lima, Nairobi, and Washington, DC.  Full location list here.
