This ensures that there is a continued chain of custody of waste throughout. Water & Sanitation is built on the principles of societal platforms, envisioning a space where sanitation is supported by shared resources, curated knowledge, and evolving solutions that address the needs of the community. By leveraging the Water & Sanitation solution, stakeholders can build innovative applications tailored to local contexts, while adhering to standardised components and data structures, leading to more effective and sustainable sanitation services.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.digit.org/welcome-aboard/products-and-solutions/water-and-sanitation.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
