A real-time environmental sensing and feedback system with an adorable character casing that combines water quality monitoring, geospatial data visualization, and community performance metrics to support urban watershed health.




Riverzilla is a network of floating water quality sensors that monitor the health of rivers, lakes, and urban waterways in real time.
Each Riverzilla measures key indicators such as dissolved oxygen, turbidity, temperature, pH, and water clarity, translating complex environmental data into a simple River Health Score that communities can easily understand.
By combining environmental sensing, public dashboards, and neighborhood-based stewardship, Riverzilla helps residents see the condition of their local waterway and track changes over time.
The project uses feedback loops, gamification, and community identity to encourage participation in activities such as cleanups, habitat restoration, and pollution prevention.
Through local leaderboards and friendly competition, Riverzilla transforms water quality monitoring into an engaging platform for environmental awareness and community action.
