Overlaid on the image is a blue gradient filter. In the top left corner is the University of Cambridge Enterprise logo. At the bottom left corner is a title, white text on a teal blue background, that reads "WaterScope".

Social impact start-up @WaterScope_org has been able to integrate an #IoT sensor into a digital bacterial testing kit for drinking water – allowing for the uploading of data from anywhere in the world – thanks to a #DigitalGrant: orlo.uk/WaterScope_SrEuC

ALT "As a social enterprise we rely on grant funding as the work we do requires a large amount of research and development. We were pleased to find a local scheme (and) this grant was a key part in opening up opportunities to apply for a much larger amount of funding - off the back of the advancements we were able to achieve." said Alex Patto of WaterScope.

Just returned from clearing my desk at @UniofBath.
Time for life's next adventure. Going to try my hand at freelancing.
If anyone is looking for expertise in precision instrumentation, or open hardware get in touch!

Did you know 30% per cent of irrigation water is groundwater?
This #WorldWaterDay video from @FAO outlines the critical role groundwater plays in farming and food systems, and the challenges in protecting this precious resource.
