HydroCrowd

About

Climate change has a worldwide impact on water availability and the occurrence of extreme weather events like floods and droughts. Reliable weather and water data are urgently needed to inform sustainable water management and develop strategies for climate change adaptation. The involvement of citizens in data collection research, also called ‘citizen science’, is seen as a promising way to increase data availability at relatively low costs, especially in countries where limited resources for data collection are available.

Aim

By testing different approaches to engage citizens in data collection in Tanzania, Honduras and Ecuador, HydroCrowd aims to strengthen the acceptance of citizen science as a valid data collection approach.
