Water Basics
Sensor and water-quality indicator explainers.
Learning Hub
A field archive for campus water literacy.
Short explainers, source-guided notes, and student reflections turn the prototype plan into learning material.
The Learning Hub connects SPF planning, UBC stormwater context, GRI research, sensor basics, and honest limits. It is designed as a fieldbook, not a news feed.
How students learn here
01
Read sources
Start from UBC plans, SPF scope, and documented limits.
02
Observe carefully
Tie water readings to place, time, and conditions.
03
Compare spatially
Look for patterns across sampling points without overclaiming.
04
Make maps legible
Translate indicators into visual layers and public explanations.
05
Document limits
Record calibration, permission, and prototype constraints.
Six kinds of entries
Field Notes
Planned build phases, testing notes, and handoff records.
Data Stories
How spatial readings become maps and interpretations.
Student Reflections
What students learn by doubting data and documenting limits.
Research Briefs
One-page summaries from plans, methods, and source documents.
Resources
Campus water, GRI, ISMP, and sustainability references.
Source-guided entries
Research Briefs
What UBC's ISMP says about stormwater monitoring
A short guide to the 2017 Integrated Stormwater Management Plan and why monitoring matters.
ResourcesGreen rainwater infrastructure on campus
The ENVR 400 report mapped 33 GRI assets and gives AquaWorks a campus-water learning context.
Data StoriesWhy spatial water maps matter
A single reading is thin; a reading with location can become a pattern.
Student ReflectionsWhat student monitoring can and cannot do
Prototype data can teach methods and reveal patterns, but it must not be overclaimed.
Field NotesAquaWorks Phase 1: from scope to archive
The planned Sep 2026-Jan 2027 path from procurement to final report.
Water BasicsSensor basics: pH, turbidity, temperature, conductivity, oxygen
The planned indicators are useful only when interpreted together and with conditions.
