PROBLEM HARDWARE APPLICATION
CROWDFUNDING
WATER QUALITY MONITORING
NEED
PROBLEM
IDEA Salt infiltration
Organic matter
Arsenic
Nitrogen and Phosphorus Oxygen Ph
Sensitive sensor:
HARDWARE & SOFTWARE & APPLICATION
Color Smell
HARDWARE
USER
The Most Vulnerable children, migrants, the poor
Detector Kit
AIM
Hands-on learning raise people’s awareness of water pollution
draw enough attention to this issue from citizens then government
PARAMETER
Any Colorimetric Parameter pH, dissolved oxygen,
nitrate-nitrogen, phosphate, ammonia
HARDWARE
CHARACTER Children-friendly, educational, low-cost
Detector Kit
pH 𝛔 TOOL
O2
Platform Arduino Component
Test paper(e.g. pH, heavy metal) Color sensor
HARDWARE
FOR VARIOUS PARAMETERS
Detector Kit Input
Test Kit
Changeable Threshold Value
& Value Section
Output
HARDWARE Detector Kit
NEED
Component
Outer shell: maybe PVC plastic inner component color sensor, test paper, chips, circuit, wire, buttons
Intellectual resources the most severe water problem
technical support for both hardware and software
APPLICATION
OBJECTIVE
Make information on water quality accessible to people
IDEA Crowdsourcing platform to meet experts and people from the region Mapping the measurements
NEEDS
Internet access in the region? Data and support from organizations Mekong River Comission WHO/ UNICEF: Joint monitoring program for water supply and SIWRP: Southern Institue for Water Resource Planning
DIFFICULTIES Not support from the organizations Restricted access to Internet Intensive aquaculture and agriculture systems in the region Factories settled in the basin
CROWDFUNDING
WHY
The Most Vulnerable The cost of hardware Propaganda cost
Human cost
HOW
Social media
Crowdfunding platforms Government Other related organizations and individuals
NEED • Contact With UNICEF in Vietnam HARDWARE & SOFTWARE & APPLICATION
Problem there? Access to Internet? • Contact With SZOIL • Materials • Mentor • Technical Experts
NEED HARDWARE & SOFTWARE & APPLICATION
Time
City
Task
07.17-07.31
Geneva
• Contact Vietnam and SZOIL • Make an original model of detector kit • Decide whether to develop an application
08.01-08.12
Ho Chi Ming City
