Austin Creeks Water Quality

The problem:

It is hard to know when swimming spots and other recreational areas are dangerous to health because of bacteria or other safety hazards.

Here is a link to the original project proposal.

This is an infant project.

Create an issue if you have ideas and comment on any open issues if you have interest in contributing.

Potential Application Architecture

These smaller pieces could be seperate services or part of one application that does the whole thing. Here are some ideas:

  1. An analyzer/scoring program that runs through the public data and scores each site/creek. It looks like that might be hard to do that as you pointed out the measurement type for E Coli counts in varying units. I'm thinking what would be nice is if the program was able to automatically:
    • download the input data from the City's data portal
    • evaluate each site and/or creek and give it some score or color assignment based on the safety of the water.
    • print out the scores in a new table
  2. An API that you can query for each creek's score.
  3. A twitter bot that queries the API and runs logic based on each creek and decides what to tweet out.
  4. A web app/visualization that lets you see the results of the output table based on a map of the waterways and/or a list of creeks you can filter/sort.
