WaterGram will empower citizens (e.g. students, scientists, designers) and public authorities to make knowledge on water quality more accessible. Even though water is an important asset within our urban environment - from our water tap to the river flowing under a bridge, from the rainwater to the greywater pouring in the canals - citizens are usually detached from the hidden dynamics of water nature. To address this issue, we plan to provide a digital platform that will allow citizens not only to share and monitor information on water quality at anytime but also potentially engage and better understand challenges regarding water management.
