🧠 Problem Title: Birds Gasping in Concrete Jungles: Severe Dehydration and Biodiversity Crisis in Urban Ecosystems.
📝 Problem Description

Rapid and unchecked urbanization has replaced natural soil, traditional mud houses, wetlands, and small ponds with concrete buildings and paved roads. During the peak summer months from March to June, local temperatures frequently cross 45°C. Due to this extreme heat, natural open water sources completely dry up, leaving urban bird populations with absolutely zero access to clean drinking water.Local birds like House Sparrows, Pigeons, Mynas, and Crows fly for miles under the scorching sun in search of a single drop of water. Suffering from severe dehydration and heatstroke, many faint mid-air and drop onto terraces or busy roads, dying a painful death. To survive, birds are forced to drink toxic chemical water from open drains, polluted sewage lines, or hazardous chemical waste dripping from air conditioner outlets. This contaminated water severely damages their internal organs, leading to a slow and painful mortality rate.This seasonal crisis recurs every year, wiping out thousands of birds locally. Birds act as natural pest controllers and seed dispersers. Their rapid decline directly destabilizes the local food chain, creating an ecological imbalance that triggers an uncontrollable spike in harmful insect populations.
