Abstract

This paper describes the technical and organizational infrastructure designed to integrate a bio sensing based water quality evaluation system into a nascent water well monitoring and response program in the Terban district of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The system AirKami (Bahasa Indonesia for ´our water´), combines a desktop bio incubator, flexible and scalable IT data management, local ecological knowledge and community support to create a new community-technology effort that includes a novel water filtration and distribution system. The project materially improves the drinking water supply for Terban residents where government efforts have been insufficient.
