Project Description
The Vietnam Acid Rainwater project helps rural farmers (such as shrimp farmers in Vietnam) and those affected by acid rain better manage and deal with and plan for acid rain. Currently, the PH of rainwater is only measured in major weather hubs and does not provide accurate real time data to farmers and others who are heavily impacted by rain and cannot afford to monitor it themselves. Jared, the director of EPICS, identified this as an issue when trying to help shrimp farmers in Vietnam, and thus the Vietnam Acid Rainwater project is creating an autonomous and durable rainwater PH monitoring system to help shrimp farmers in Vietnam and others.
