The Glass Bottom Float is a floating public robot with the mission of making the critical assessment of recreational water quality a transparent and participatory experience. It assesses the current state of the waters with a three-tiered sensing system informed by best practices of recreational water quality assessment science to create a probabilistic, qualitative measure of water quality:

  • established metrics (algae, chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen)
  • experimental metrics (near real-time in-situ e-coli, wave motion)
  • untested metrics (the presence and sounds of fish and crustaceans)
  • post swimming experience surveys
