This project aims to improve equitable drinking water access in the City of Vancouver by creating a mathematical model that allows the city to calculate the number of public drinking water fountains required. The index is divided into a location-based and a population-based indicator, striving to indicate areas and locations associated with higher heat risk and propose a need-based index.
