Contaminated drinking water can lead to serious health problems, such as cholera, diarrhea, and other waterborne illnesses. Thus, maintaining clean and safe water becomes essential to advancing public health. Recent research indicates that water-related ailments claim the lives of a noteworthy 3,575,000 individuals annually. Thus, a reliable indicator of water potability could significantly lower the prevalence of these illnesses. Machine learning algorithms have emerged as highly effective instruments for precisely and promptly monitoring water resources by accurately forecasting the quality of the water. The Drinking Water dataset on Kaggle is the source of the water samples used in this study, and various algorithms are used to estimate water potability based on these properties. Nine different metrics make up this dataset: pH, hardness, solids, trihalomethanes, sulphates, chloramines, organic carbon, conductivity, and turbidity. We seek to ascertain the potability of drinking water by utilizing a variety of algorithms, including Random Forest, SVM, Decision Tree, and KNN. Among other notable results, the Random Forest algorithm outperforms conventional machine learning models, producing an astounding accuracy of 99.5%.

Given the challenges associated with the timeconsuming and error-prone nature of detecting COVID-19 through Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RTPCR), there is a growing reliance on alternative methods, such as examining chest X-ray (CXR) images. Viral pneumonia symptoms include a persistent cough with mucus, fever, chills, shortness of breath, and chest pain, especially during deep breaths or coughing. These symptoms often overlap significantly with those of other respiratory infections, including COVID-19. Accurately predicting COVID-19 severity and distinguishing it from viral pneumonia is crucial for effective patient management. Deep learning models offer promise in automating this process. The chest X-ray (CXR) images undergo preprocessing through Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) to improve their quality. These enhanced images are fed into ResNet50 and EfficientNet-B0, both renowned deep learning models. Comparative evaluation demonstrates ResNet50 achieving an accuracy of 92.58%, whereas EfficientNet-B0 achieves a higher accuracy of 93.08%. This study underscores the efficacy of deep learning in COVID-19 prediction. The findings suggest EfficientNet-B0’s potential for improved diagnostic accuracy.
