Welcome to EnviroDIY, a community for do-it-yourself environmental science and monitoring. EnviroDIY is part of WikiWatershed, an initiative of Stroud Water Research Center designed to help people advance knowledge and stewardship of fresh water. Researchers in New Zealand discovered that high-frequency monitoring of rivers yielded a more accurate accounting of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment loads than monthly grab samples allowed for. While high-frequency monitoring was more expensive, “the added investment is minor when weighed against the risks of poorly informed land management actions or generic policies based on limited con...[Read More]
This new version enhances performance, addresses important bugs, and improves scalability and reliability.
Filling river monitoring gaps requires systems with low size, weight, power consumption, and cost. Stroud Water Research Center’s ORCA fits the bill.
Stroud Water Research Center investigated tidal dynamics and associated sediment movement in two Maryland rivers using EnviroDIY Monitoring Stations.
This workshop will help you learn the skills necessary to assemble, program, and deploy a water monitoring station, but with the understanding that the DIY journey has just begun!
The new Mayfly v1.1 boards will be available starting March 10, 2022.
