The work in progress

An illustrative project exploring how low-cost sensors could help communities understand water storage and flow. The current experiment focuses on collecting readings reliably when connectivity is intermittent.

What we’re working towards

  • Test reliable sensor readings in the field
  • Explore offline data collection
  • Document a reproducible hardware setup

Where another perspective helps

The next step is to test the assumptions behind the approach. A collaborator can bring feedback, a reproducible experiment or experience from a different engineering discipline.

  • Embedded firmware
  • Field testing
