Definition - Nature of the problem

Description of the organisation.

Pools to schools is a charity dedicated to providing pools to low decile primary schools (5 or lower). The hope is that this will increase the number of youths in New Zealand that can swim, lowering the number of fatalities related to drowning in the youth population. As a charity they will potentially be receiving funding from water safe New Zealand.

What they want:

Pools to schools want a system to allow for them to plan routes for the portable pools. As such they need to prioritise schools based on multiple factors. The factors that will affect the priorities of the school are: Decile, access to pool, locality and the age group of the students.

Origin and form of the data:

The potential sources of data are:

-       Google maps (Mapping: School locations/Municipal Pool Locations)

-       Tumonz (Mapping/Topography)

-       Council GIS system (Mapping/ Information on schools)

-       Dept of Education (Information on schools)        

-       Watersafe Auckland (Information on pools)

Thus far the form of most of this data is unknown.
