This world-changing water sensor project from Charity:Water is a Google-backed endeavor to track the wells they have built in developing communities as a non-profit organization. With a mission to end the water crisis and ensure all people have access to clean drinking water, the charity uses sensors to measure flow rate and then generate reports on their wells' performance.
Thanks to this sensor project, every well now has its own Facebook page with important data and testimonies. This not only ensures the organization is delivering and continuing to be useful to the communities they work with, they are also devoted to being transparent to donors and other stakeholders. They also have information online on how to build your own sensor.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
