Module 05 · Water Quality

Every drop, measured.

Continuous water quality monitoring across six key parameters, collected by Haritha Karma Sena field teams and citizen scientists — giving the Forest Department a real-time view of wetland health.

Monitoring Zones

Five zones, continuous coverage.

Each zone represents a distinct ecological micro-region within Kumarakom, with its own monitoring frequency and risk profile.

Zone A
Zone B
Zone C
Zone D
Zone E
Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary — 5 monitoring zones
Zone A — Main LakepH 7.2 · Healthy
Open water body near the visitor centre. Primary monitoring station with automated sensor.
Zone B — Reed Bed ChannelTurbidity 22 NTU · Watch
Narrow channel through reed beds. Elevated turbidity from upstream runoff — Haritha Karma Sena monitoring weekly.
Zone C — Mangrove EstuarypH 7.4 · Healthy
Brackish water transition zone. Slightly elevated conductivity due to tidal influence — within normal range.
Zone D — Lotus PondDO 6.8 mg/L · Healthy
Shallow, slow-moving water with dense lotus coverage. Excellent dissolved oxygen from plant photosynthesis.
Zone E — Inlet CanalBOD 4.2 mg/L · Alert
Receives agricultural runoff from upstream. Elevated BOD and nutrient levels triggered a high-severity report on the Conservation Dashboard.
Recent Activity

Field reports, from tap to dashboard.

Every water quality reading flows from a field team's phone to the Conservation Dashboard in under 60 seconds.

Today, 08:30
Zone A — Routine sampling completed
All six parameters within normal range. pH trending slightly upward — seasonal pattern expected.
Submitted by Haritha Karma Sena Team 1 · AI-verified
Yesterday, 14:15
Zone B — Turbidity spike detected
Turbidity reading of 22 NTU recorded — up from 14 NTU last week. Likely caused by recent rainfall runoff.
Submitted by Citizen Scientist Anjali R. · AI-verified · Flagged to Forest Dept.
3 days ago, 09:45
Zone E — High BOD alert triggered
BOD reading of 4.2 mg/L exceeded threshold. Automatic escalation to Forest Department and Haritha Karma Sena for source investigation.
Submitted by Haritha Karma Sena Team 3 · AI-verified · Urgent priority assigned
5 days ago, 07:00
Zone D — Monthly deep sampling
Full parameter suite tested including nutrient levels. Excellent water quality — supports thriving lotus and fish populations.
