Data collection
The convenience of data collection.
Users can freely register and can measure for free.
Any user can freely download their measurements.
Data can be collected on a monthly basis from each user individually in your area (freely).
Groundwater Global assumes that at some point water authorities will want to systematically download the regional data for groundwater management. For convenience and professionalism. Rates apply for water authorities so that Groundwater Global can maintain and improve their services.
Data can systemically be downloaded per area, like in the image, or by professional project, configured by Groundwater Global.
Collection of citizen data by area applies only for locations marked transparent, i.e. explicitly unlocked by the owning citizen for all to see. Groundwater Global assumes that, when collecting data from citizens, water authorities will recompense citizens appropriately for their contributions.
Collection by professional project works for transparent and for non-transparent locations.
Systematic download of smartphone groundwater monitoring data by area available to an example water authority.
A Solidarity Coefficient for each Country.
Data collection rates are scaled by the Groundwater Global Solidarity Coefficient for reasons of equity. Each country has their own coefficient derived from income statistics.
Calculation Example:
The coefficient of Indonesia is currently set to 0.27, so that data collection for a Community pilot in 2025 in Indonesia would be 0.27 * €30.00 = €8.10 (per month).
Data collection rates for monitoring by Citizens (2025).
These rates are multiplied by the Groundwater Global Solidarity Coefficient.
In addition, universities can get up to 80% discount on the country corrected rates.
Rates exclude tax.
