Co-created project: Citizens participate in all stages of the scientific process.
Overall goal: Address surface waterbodies eutrophication in relation to their catchment, different water uses and the Cianosemáforo (Cyanosignal), as a tool for preventing risks in recreational waters Specific goals:
• Systematize and share the knowledge gathered from applied research during the monitoring of water quality.
• Raise awareness in society on the impact of the issue of eutrophication, cyanobacteria and their consequences on health.
• Promote visual monitoring of waterbodies through citizen participation.
• Establish partnerships and create contact networks among stakeholders.
Description of citizen participation: Citizens participate in workshops, visual monitoring, data interpretation and communication. The Spanish acronym stands for the following:
· Control: Monitoring of cyanobacteria and other ELM water quality aspects, with systematized measures and adequate space-time resolution
· Y (and): The nexus involving citizens, research teaching staff, and students of FCEFyN-UNC.
· Alert(alert): After processing field data, supplemented with lab data, the risk levels associated to cyanobacteria exposure are informed to schools, decision-makers, and society.
· Niveles (levels): A risk level is assigned, and recommendations are made for different water uses.
· Observados (observed): Personnel from the Search and Rescue Group of Calamuchita and citizens perform visual monitoring at ELM.
