Hacking Ecology provides high accuracy water monitoring systems using the most powerful open source tools.
We are building the most powerful and accessible open source tools for water monitoring, and a secure, unalterable, distributed and accessible database. Empower communities to find information and data to take and demand action! We are a group of ecologists, technologists and environmental advocates building high accuracy and fair price systems for water monitoring and environmental data management.
The creation of the most accessible, flexible and user-friendly systems is a collaborative effort!
Our open source approach brings together users, researchers and organizations who provide continuous feedback to improve underwater monitoring tools. Creating the best balance of IoT integration, full compatibility with various operating systems and a rock-solid system is a challenging feat. Let’s work together to achieve it!
The Open, Rock-Solid & High Accuracy Water Monitoring System
High Compatibility
Access and analyze data with Python, R, Matlab and more.
Accessibility
Our open source approach and focus on environmental impact enables us to offer high quality tools at a fair and reasonable cost.

Connect using GNU/Linux, Mac or Windows. Visualize the data remotely on your mobile phone.
Certified sensors and an impact-tolerant enclosure ensure top class performance and durability you can depend on.
A secure and distributed database that protects the data with a replicated design. Ready for real-time processing of data!
The 100% open source water monitoring system is just around the corner. Stay updated!
Monitor aquatic environments around you with reliable and low-cost sensors and easy-to-use tools for storing, sharing and taking action to protect our environment.
Research
Thanks to regular testing, continual improvement and the robustness of our modular hardware, we can deliver a reliable product perfectly suited to all types of field work and research projects. Hacking Ecology facilitates access to a large amount of quality data, enabling universities and research organizations to make new discoveries in the exciting field of water research.
CITIZEN SCIENCE
Citizen scientists and autonomous groups are key players in water monitoring, social inclusion and knowledge exchange. Hacking Ecology empowers citizens to carry out environmental studies by equipping them with affordable and easy-to-use tools, in addition to providing training on best practices in water monitoring.
Industries
Hacking Ecology aims to facilitate the adoption of stable and reliable water monitoring systems for public agencies, environmental engineers and private companies who are committed to reducing the environmental impact of wastewater released into the environment in parallel to improving the efficiency and sustainability of their operations.
Urban Water
Water is essential for almost all human activities, health and recreation. Fair-cost and high quality water monitoring systems promote the adoption and implementation of more intensive and integrated monitoring. With proper monitoring, we can get a clearer picture of our nearby water conditions, allowing us to accelerate advances in both human health and environmental conservation.
