Three billion people in the world don’t have access to a consistent water supply. Depending on lots of variables—infrastructure, supply, or mismanagement, for some people water may flow every two days, sometimes it takes ten. Anu Sridharan launched an organization in India that wants to fix this. How? Simple cellphones and and the power of crowdsourcing information. A former civil engineering student, Anu is passionate about improving access and health for communities in urban India. She is the cofounder of “Next Drop” – a service that revolutionizes the way governments and public services in India communicate with individuals about water availability. The organization sends text message alerts to more than 75,000 residents in the city of Hubli-Dharwad to notify them with the date and time a fresh supply of water is due to be piped to their area. She was recognized in 2013 by Unilever as one of seven finalists in Unilever’s Sustainable Living Young Entrepreneur Awards, having been selected from a pool of over 500 applicants from 90 countries.
