Thank you to all our backers!

On behalf of Team RiverWatch, I would like to extend our gratitude to our backers Experiment Foundation, Arjun, Anupam, Parul and Manan! Due to your support we reached our goal. Also thanks to our advisors Jaideep, Mukesh and Marvin for your continued support! You are all playing a significant role in our journey and we are very grateful. We have already been collecting data over the past few weeks and are excited to start sharing some early results.

Over the coming months, we will periodically release results and insights as and when they are available. We are looking forward to engaging with you all as we delve deeper into the science related to water pollution in Indian rivers. Through this project, we hope to make a small difference in the lives of people that are dependent on rivers, particularly fishing communities.

Wish us luck!

Thank you all again!

About This Project

Lack of reliable water quality data is leading to serious global health issues. The UNEP estimates that around 3 billion people are at health risk due to scarcity of water quality data, which mainly stems from the lack of resources such as testing labs and manpower. In this project, we will explore the use of low-cost water testers and evaluate their efficacy in accurately mapping the quality of river water in Goan rivers (India) using an open-source, citizen science-based approach.

Blast off!
