Showcase - Be-Resilient Citizen Science Water Quality Data (South Africa)

This dataset contains citizen science water quality measurements collected under the Be-Resilient initiative of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme (IHP). Data were gathered across multiple Biosphere Reserves in South Africa as part of ongoing efforts to enhance community-based monitoring and local resilience to hydroclimatic risks.

The dataset includes in-situ observations of key water quality parameters, such as pH, electrical conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature, each accompanied by localized timestamps and contextual metadata. Measurements were obtained by trained citizen scientists and local volunteers, following standardized protocols designed to ensure comparability across sites and over time.

Individual identifiers have been removed to protect the privacy of participants. The dataset serves as an open, quality-controlled source for hydrological and environmental analyses, education, and early-warning applications. It contributes to the broader Be-Resilient programme objective of promoting citizen and open science approaches for climate adaptation, data democratization, and the co-production of water knowledge in vulnerable and data-scarce regions.
