The WRO is teaming up with Deltares and IBM to roll-out a cellpone app-based water quality tool that can be used by researchers, water managers and citizen scientists to monitor salinity, nitrates and phosphates - check out the Aquality app (formerly known as the NitrateApp)
It can also be used by farmers to test nitrate levels in the topsoil, potentially leading to savings in fertiliser.
