I am doing "prior art" research to find out what are reliable and open constructions of sensors (and controlling/recording) platforms used in citizen monitoring of environment.
Due to recent events in Poland, priority topic is river monitoring: water temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, ORP (oxidation reduction potential), water level (sonar?).
Also, typical weather station sensors recommendations will be appreciated.
If you know about an active group dealing with river environment monitoring, please drop a link here – I will be happy to learn from them.
At this stage, I do not intend to start any deep R&D. I need to learn about good (best!) practices and appropriate hardware, so we can deploy a network of early warning checkpoints as soon and as cheaply as possible.

And what is/was Rusałka?
Anything to do with a lake in Poznań?

Inspiring. :-) I am right now looking for a naming convention to be used for a confederated network of environment monitoring and early warning.
In case you guys are interested, the coming week I have a meeting with a municipality near Poznań, possibly interested in commissioning the pilot installation. The topic has potential, and you are invited to contribute if you fancy so.

Hm~~
Caveats:
- I live 1Mm away (and occasionally visit family that lives ~0.4Mm away),
- I currently have a 5-day-a-week day job.
But what you intend to do sounds interesting, so I would appreciate knowing how the goal of the whole thing gets more concrete and what things would benefit from my efforts/help.
And the central field module would have block structure like that (English version on demand):
