SIBRA

The connections between water and geological underground are diverse and often complicated. With the SIBRA App, you can generate reliable data on these topics and help to a better understanding of these connections. That way, you can contribute to developing models and scenarios that allow for assessing possible effects of extreme weather events, such as rapid snowmelt, flooding or drought.

Citizen Scienctist collecting hydrogeological data

With the SIBRA app, a measuring instrument is now available that complements not only existing measuring methods in the field of hydrogeology and engineering geology and enormously expands the data situation, but also allows interested citizens to actively deal with processes such as geological mass movements and hydrogeology.

CrowdWater

With the CrowdWater Citizen Science app, you can observe rivers and collect hydrological data, including water level, streamflow and soil moisture data, as well as data about the dynamics of temporary streams, plastic pollution and general stream type data.

Better predicting of floods and droughts with Citizen Science

The project does not only look at the possibilities of collecting data but also at the value of this data for hydrological forecasts. The goal is to develop a cheap and easy data collection method that can be used to predict floods and low flow or droughts. The long-term aim of the project is to complement existing gauging station networks, especially in regions with a sparse measurement network, such as in developing countries.
