Some ideas on water

• Is it urban or ..?• Water quality and quantity– Ground and surface water– Hazards (pre and post event)

• Agriculture: quality and quantity– What can be measured by citizens (smell, colour ..)– Need for new sensors

• Which incentives work for which citizens?

WP: Water CO in EducationPrimary, secondary, tertiary

• School networks : CO approaches included in school curricula for Science and IT education– Different levels

• Pilot to develop and test curricula

• Water level measurement in high hazard areas• Wildlife in/near rivers• Do we need more water level/quality monitoring,

where and why?– Schools– Anglers: fish stocks, – What does water quality mean and to whom?

• What are water issues• Which interest groups can we identify who have a

stake in collecting and using CO?

WP: Sensor technologiesdevelopment and testing

• Massive numbers of cheap sensors are preferable to a small no. of expensive ones.

• What sort of sensors do we have, are needed can be built, distributed?

• Quality of drinking water: from wells or piped systems?

• Animal and plant indicators? Birds, plants, bees (and bee-keepers)

WP: VGI a critical analysis

• WP looking at historical developmet• What works• What does not• And why?• Lessons

WP: Quality of CO

• Guidelines for CO and sensor use• How to filter out good and bad sources– Also bias due to specific interests

• What is the critical mass• CO on demand for local crises

WP: FloodingPre and post disaster

• Need one or more high risk areas for pilot• Vulnerability assessment (historical event

syrveys)• Monitoring of hazard levels over time > early

warning systems, event dynamics• Use CO to calibrate hydro models• Robustness • Waste redistribution post event
