Innovative Approaches to Water Quality Monitoring and Education in Urban Areas

This initiative explores the quality and quantity of urban water sources, including ground and surface water. It emphasizes the need for citizen involvement in monitoring through low-cost sensors and methods for assessing water quality, such as smell and color. The program will integrate water education into school curricula at various levels and examine the roles of different stakeholders, from anglers to wildlife experts, in fostering sustainable water practices. By conducting pilot projects in high-risk areas, the initiative aims to enhance awareness and develop effective strategies for water conservation and management.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Some ideas on water • Is it urban or ..? • Water quality and quantity • Ground and surface water • Hazards (pre and post event) • Agriculture: quality and quantity • What can be measured by citizens (smell, colour ..) • Need for new sensors • Which incentives work for which citizens?

  2. WP: Water CO in EducationPrimary, secondary, tertiary • School networks : CO approaches included in school curricula for Science and IT education • Different levels • Pilot to develop and test curricula

  3. Water level measurement in high hazard areas • Wildlife in/near rivers • Do we need more water level/quality monitoring, where and why? • Schools • Anglers: fish stocks, • What does water quality mean and to whom? • What are water issues • Which interest groups can we identify who have a stake in collecting and using CO?

  4. WP: Sensor technologiesdevelopment and testing • Massive numbers of cheap sensors are preferable to a small no. of expensive ones. • What sort of sensors do we have, are needed can be built, distributed? • Quality of drinking water: from wells or piped systems? • Animal and plant indicators? Birds, plants, bees (and bee-keepers)

  5. WP: VGI a critical analysis • WP looking at historical developmet • What works • What does not • And why? • Lessons

  6. WP: Quality of CO • Guidelines for CO and sensor use • How to filter out good and bad sources • Also bias due to specific interests • What is the critical mass • CO on demand for local crises

  7. WP: FloodingPre and post disaster • Need one or more high risk areas for pilot • Vulnerability assessment (historical event syrveys) • Monitoring of hazard levels over time > early warning systems, event dynamics • Use CO to calibrate hydro models • Robustness • Waste redistribution post event

  8. Possible partners • Geodan, Amsterdam • Sensor technologies: UT, TUD etc • Associations: Anglers, Bee-keepers? • Environmental Lawyers • ICLEI • Water boards & local, regional authorities
