The problem Yamuna Sense solves

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗜𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀
->River pollution monitoring today is fragmented, delayed, and disconnected from real-world impact.
->Although government systems and complaint portals exist, they primarily focus on regulatory compliance, not on ecosystem health, public awareness, or community-driven action.

𝗔𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁:
->Pollution hotspots remain undetected for long periods
->Citizens witness pollution but cannot track outcomes or action taken
->Aquatic life deteriorates due to low dissolved oxygen, toxic discharge, and plastic waste
->Public health risks near polluted stretches are poorly communicated
->Pollution reports often fail to reach activists and NGOs capable of rapid response

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗬𝗮𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗮𝗚𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀
->YamunSen converts river pollution data into visible, actionable intelligence by linking citizens, aquatic ecosystems, and on-ground action networks on a single platform.

Challenges we ran into

One key challenge was integrating the frontend with the backend, where I faced issues like CORS errors, API mismatches, and React state bugs that caused data not to render properly. I also encountered setup problems in React with Vite, including missing imports and configuration errors.

I resolved these by closely analyzing error logs, testing APIs with Postman, fixing dependency imports, and debugging components step by step. Breaking the system into smaller modules and testing each part individually helped me overcome these hurdles efficiently.
