I am doing "prior art" research to find out what are reliable and open constructions of sensors (and controlling/recording) platforms used in citizen monitoring of environment.
Due to recent events in Poland, priority topic is river monitoring:
- water temperature,
- pH,
- conductivity,
- dissolved oxygen,
- turbidity,
- ORP (oxidation reduction potential),
- water level (sonar?).
Also, typical weather station sensors recommendations will be appreciated.
If you know about an active group dealing with river environment monitoring, please drop a link here – I will be happy to learn from them.
At this stage, I do not intend to start any deep R&D. I need to learn about good (best!) practices and appropriate hardware, so we can deploy a network of early warning checkpoints as soon and as cheaply as possible.
