The idea: 'public water monitoring'
The tool of choice is the 'Tulum public monitoring network' which is realized with the help of Tulums inhabitants, especially pupils. Implementation and operation of this network is done in close cooperation with the mexican partner Amigos de Sian Ka'an.
They can join via schools, information events, or simply through internet...
In teams they gather important information about the condition of the hidden groundwater rivers at places where the system is reachable in and around Tulum (cenotes, wells, bore holes, lagoons). The information they gather is then compiled into frequently updated maps everybody can watch on this website. These maps are images of the ground waters health and provide important information for further scientific studies.
