Description:
22% of Europe’s lakes and rivers are affected by pollution. Most rivers, lakes and estuaries fail to meet minimum ecological standards for habitat degradation and pollution.
Current methods of monitoring water quality use ‘grab’ or momentary sampling methods that rely on expensive and scarce laboratory facilities.
Hydrobean is the first low-cost, water quality sensor designed specifically for use by citizen scientists. It allows accurate and continuous monitoring of water pollution levels, enabling local authorities, industries, and agriculture to manage pollutants, improve water quality, and aid ecological recovery 22% of Europe’s lakes and rivers are affected by pollution.
