Our dream is to improve the quality of our living environment through a community-driven ecosystem with a focus on surface water. We safeguard the use of our surface water as a natural resource for our drinking water and recreation.
The aqa.earth photo app provides a tool for monitoring your living environment, and share it with others. Your photos are an important information layer of our water quality dashboard, which is also accessible directly in the app.
The photos are combined with data of several affordable sensors in devices measuring the quality of our living environment, such as our floaters that measure surface water quality and our pinners that measure soil moisture quality. We apply many of these devices in a sensor network and store the data in an immutable data base through blockchain technology.
We combine the generated real-time and history data with external data, such as weather data, and translate them through sensor data fusion algorithms to the main water quality issues that we shine a light on:
- the drought of the soil
- over-fertilization of the ground
- water scarcity
- swimming water quality of natural water sources like rivers and lakes
- local blue-green algae blooms related to public health issues in surface water
