RiverZilla is an innovative water sensor designed to float around urban rivers and other water bodies, capturing real-time water quality data. This data is transmitted via Wi-Fi to a dashboard that displays a feedback loop, providing comparative water quality scores for different locations along the river, visible to the local community.

Key Features:

• Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring:
  • RiverZilla collects water quality data and sends it to a dashboard, offering a clear, real-time picture of conditions across different parts of the river.
• Community Engagement:
  • Water quality scores are presented in familiar formats like star ratings, ABC grades, or fire risk-style gauges, encouraging residents to take action to improve their local water quality.
• Creative Design:
  • Inspired by Godzilla, the sensor is designed with a Godzilla character cover, appearing like Godzilla has emerged from the water, making it fun and engaging, building an emotional connection to water quality monitoring.
• Environmental Advocacy:
  • Data from RiverZilla can be used by environmental nonprofits for advocacy, supporting efforts to pass policies and infrastructure improvements for better water quality.
• Comprehensive Water Quality Map:
  • Multiple RiverZillas can work together to create a detailed map of water pollution across the entire urban water body, offering valuable insights for improving environmental health.
