Real-time beach water quality for Cape Town
Beachgoers Risk Health Without Water Quality Data
Cape Town beachgoers lack real-time access to water quality information, putting them at risk of swimming in contaminated water and exposure to harmful bacteria like E. coli.
No centralized platform - Beach water quality data scattered across multiple sources or unavailable to the public
Health risks - Swimmers unknowingly expose themselves to unsafe E. coli levels and contaminated water
Outdated information - No way to check the most recent water testing results before visiting a beach
Limited transparency - Water quality managers lack tools to efficiently share data and engage with the community
