Project Description

Dashboard to aggregate publicly available open source date and transform, analyse, forecast factors affecting water conflicts.

Full disclosure: This project was initially done as part of my University course - Data Systems Project. It was presented to TNO (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Toegepast Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek) - Military division. Reason I took this project was it was exciting ML/AI POC for me.

Also believed this would actually help prevent conflicts and provide aid as oppose to somehow use it maliciously. This project is 2 years old. TNO did not provide any of their data or expertise and do not own this project.

Current state:

FE: React BE: Python / Flask

• Project is more than 1.5 years old.
• UI have quite alot of hardcoded data.
• There are some buggy UI issues as well.
• Backend could be broken

Goal for this Hackweek

github (Private): https://github.com/Shavindra/TNO

I like to keep things very simple and not overdo anything.

1. Update packages
2. Fix UI bugs.
3. Update Python backend

Then work one of the following

1. Integrate some data sources properly.
2. Least 1/2 API endpoints working on a basic level.
3. Any other suggestions?
