🧠 Problem Title: Drinking Water Coolers in Public Places Not Functioning Properly or Lacking Hygiene
📝 Problem Description

In many public places such as schools, railway stations, parks, and government buildings, drinking water coolers or water dispensers are installed for public use. However, it is often observed that these facilities are either not functioning properly or are poorly maintained., In some cases, the water coolers do not work at all, while in others the water flow is very slow or inconsistent. Additionally, hygiene is often neglected, with dirty taps, unclean surroundings, or water leakage around the unit. This discourages people from using these facilities even when they are available., I have personally observed that many public drinking water systems are either not working or are not maintained properly, especially during peak usage times. As a result, people may remain thirsty or are forced to look for alternative sources of water., This problem highlights a gap between the availability of facilities and their proper maintenance. Ensuring access to clean and functional drinking water is essential, but poor upkeep reduces the effectiveness of these public resources.
