Unc Inc works on Water Quality Knowledge Impulse
Starting this month, Unc Inc and a group of research institutions will start developing Knowledge Impulse Water Quality. With this platform, we will unlock and make applicable the knowledge and data of 10 research projects involved.
Surrounded by water, Unc Inc is located on the NDSM wharf. When the weather is nice, the temptation is great to take a refreshing dip in the IJ. But how responsible is that really, how clean is the surface water in our backyard?
Knowledge generated by researchers about water quality is often not available or readily usable. Even in a broader sense, the social or economic use of research data often leaves much to be desired. We are therefore proud of the new collaboration with Knowledge Impulse Water Quality.
Unlocking this knowledge, however, is not the sole purpose of the site. It is primarily aimed at increasing the value of water quality research by making the data practically applicable. Intended end users such as water managers, engineering firms, knowledge institutes, farmers or municipalities are thereby enabled to realize their water quality ambitions.
Knowledge Impulse Water Quality is an initiative of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, provinces, drinking water companies and water boards. Through a workshop, we jointly identified the most important functionalities for these end users. We are now converting these insights into a good structure and clear design for the website. We expect to put the first version live in early April. Stay tuned!
