# Background of JanaJal

JanaJal, established in 2013, has been at the forefront of providing safe and affordable drinking water to underserved communities in India. With a mission to address the pressing issue of water scarcity and quality, JanaJal has implemented several key initiatives that lay the foundation for the BigWater Ecosystem.

* **Water Treatment Plants:** Automated kiosks that dispense clean drinking water at affordable prices. These units are strategically placed in both urban and rural areas to ensure maximum accessibility.
* **Water on Wheels (WOW):** Mobile units equipped with GPS and IoT technology that deliver water directly to consumers' doorsteps. These units are designed to serve areas where access to water is limited or unreliable.
* **JJSUITE Technology Platform:** A comprehensive patented digital platform that integrates IoT devices and blockchain technology for real-time data collection, monitoring, and analysis. JJSUITE provides a centralised system for managing water quality and distribution, ensuring transparency and efficiency in operations.
