Become a Citizen Scientist
Make a difference with your Smartphone.
If you live in Nepal and are interested in participating in S4W-Nepal as a citizen scientist please contact us or send us an email at s4w-nepal@smartphones4water.org. All that is needed is enthusiasm and access to an Android Smartphone; we’ll teach you the rest! Currently, citizen scientists can participate by measuring rainfall, groundwater levels, surface water levels, land use, and water flow and quality from stone spouts (plus a lot more on the way too!). Here is a list of steps to get involved:
- Install and configure ODK Collect on your Android smartphone
- S4W – Rainfall Measurements with Enketo (non-Android devices)
- Learn how to take measurements
- Build an S4W rain gauge (rainfall)
- Start collecting data!
- Contact S4W-Nepal with questions about measuring other parameters
