UberWasser

UberWasser was built during the NASA Space Apps Challenge in April 2017 — a mobile application that consolidates beach hazard information into a single platform, helping beachgoers monitor risks and take protective measures.

Going to the beach is dangerous: skin cancer and drowning are common risks due to insufficient accessible information. UberWasser addresses this by integrating Sentinel/Copernicus satellite data, open-source mapping and in-situ measurements to deliver accurate information on water quality, UV exposure, sun protection and beach facilities — increasing safety in and out of the water.

UberWasser achieved Global Nominee status at the 2017 Space Apps Challenge.
