Preserving and protecting our lakes through technology and community engagement
Urban lakes are critical ecosystems that provide habitat for wildlife, regulate temperature, and serve as natural stormwater management systems. Yet they face unprecedented threats from urbanization, pollution, and climate change.
With real-time monitoring, we enable communities to quickly identify contamination events and take action before they become crises.
Lakes across India face unprecedented threats from pollution, encroachment, and neglect. Traditional monitoring is expensive and inconsistent.
An affordable, open-source monitoring system that provides real-time data on water quality, enabling quick responses to contamination events.
A network of monitored lakes across India, protected by engaged communities with access to actionable data and resources.
