Project Details
The Challenge | Smash your SDGs!
Your challenge is to develop creative solutions that use Earth observations to address the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and foster sustainable development worldwide. Use NASA and other Earth observing satellites’ data as well as information generated by crowd-sourcing and in-situ measurements to create practical applications that support environmental and societal policy across water, health, food security and/or land use domains.
Caravel
Caravel has the objective to monitor and integrate data related to the quality of fresh water
We built a prototype with Arduino Uno using temperature, pH and turbidity sensors to identify if the fresh water source is drinkable. This prototype is charged by a lipo battery and uses solar energy as power supply. This prototype can be placed in any fresh water source, such as rivers, lakes and cisterns and through a simple RGB code, the surronding community can check if it is safe to drink from such a source at the moment.
We built the design of an app that could get the data from the prototype through bluetooth and send to a cloud storage. We also built a power BI interface to facilitate the track of several of those prototypes at once.
