Open-access and low-cost water monitoring system for developing countries

Home: FVG, Italy

Access to water quality information is a global challenge, especially where real-time data is scarce. We present a low-cost, open-access system with in-situ sensors and wireless data transmission. Independent of commercial brands, it promotes technological sovereignty, involving students from the community. Anyone with internet can explore the data through a web app and join the monitoring effort.
