Smart Gujarat Hackathon 2017
Challenge Statement

Name of the Department: Urban Development and Urban Housing Department

Challenge Title ( Must be one liner)	:	· Location of Underground Utilities and Frequent Digging on roads
Challenge Description with context (At least one Paragraph)	:	· Underground utilities like water, drainage, power, etc. in the city are either not mapped or their actual location has not been identified/updated. Thereby, it takes a long time to troubleshoot any problem in any of the utility. · A common issue is that of repeated digging up of a particular site on a public road by various departments as a result of lack of information or unawareness on their part of work being carried out by other departments. This creates considerable inconvenience to public/citizens and motorists. Further, lack of information/unawareness about locations of underground utilities leads to duplication of utilities and, many a times, damage to existing underground utilities.
What Exact Problem is being Solved?	:
Users	:	· General public, corporations, municipal corporations, Agencies
Expected Outcomes	:	· There should be a common database/mapping for various department so that Underground utilities like water, drainage, power can be done at the same time and repeated digging up of a particular site can be avoided
Impact	:
