Would you use a system that helps monitor your home’s water quality?(All welcome, 2–3 min)
I’m a college student working on a project about water quality and I’d really appreciate some feedback from homeowners.
We’re designing a system that helps people better understand potential water quality issues in their area. It wouldn’t directly test for specific contaminants, but instead would:
- Use simple in-home signals (like cloudiness or temperature)
- Pull in local data (weather, water advisories, etc.)
- Combine that with anonymous reports from nearby households
- Show a community map of water quality concerns
- Send alerts if something unusual is happening nearby
The goal is to give people earlier awareness and better information, not replace official testing.
We made a short survey (takes ~2–3 minutes) to understand:
- How concerned people are about their water quality
- Whether this kind of system would actually be useful
- Any concerns (privacy, accuracy, etc.)
