HydroWatch – Following the Life Cycle of Water
From Crossbow’s blog:
Researchers at the Berkeley Institute of the Environment have taken the initiative to do what they can to understand and create solutions to help the future of the planet. Specifically, the HydroWatch project is designing a new framework for quantifying the incredibly complex pathways of water. By designing advanced new sensors that can monitor water above, within, and below plant canopies as well as in soils and streams, the team has a prototype system that can readily be replicated to investigate the effects of climate change and urban development on freshwater supply. The data they can gather will help to inform public policy and planning frameworks for California and beyond.
