Low-Cost Groundwater Detection - Science Hack Day 2014Anita Hart
The team’s intent was to develop a low-cost, prototype that could replicate an expensive geophysical system for groundwater detection. This was accomplished by wiring an Arduino into a volt meter to provide continuous data logging of ground voltage. This voltage was induced by 2 electrodes stuck in the ground and wired to a 9-volt battery. Potential applications include citizen-science groundwater measurement & monitoring or reducing the risk of drilling wells.
Creators: Mika McKinnon, Alice Pevyhouse, Jeremy Wong, Anita Hart, with extra help from Christoph, Matthew, Brian, Chris and others.
