Cheap, Portable Water Testing for Africa
We are designing a small but powerful device to test water quality at the final source of a communal drinking supply. The inventive use of low-cost UV sources and sensors should allow us to create a cheap and easy-to-operate piece of technology usable by a local population and NGOs for safety purposes and research collection.
Our work is split into two phases: experiment with low-cost sensors and spectrometry designs to accurately detect pathogens, and determine how best to disseminate the information gathered in a manner that is beneficial to multiple agents. |
