Saaf Water is a legitimate, high-potential project that won the prestigious 2021 IBM Call for Code Global Challenge ($200k prize). The platform uses AI-IoT sensors for real-time water quality monitoring and has conducted pilots in India (Goa). However, the project submission itself provided poor, inaccurate data (claiming 'most people' have used it and 'everyone' is the audience). While the technology and real-world utility are exceptional and verified via external search, the score is constrained by the project's early pilot stage and the low quality of the provided input.
