​​​​WaterCAN Citizen Science Map

​The Citizen Science Map tracks water quality across South Africa in real time. Powered by community testing, it visualises safe and unsafe sources, highlights problem areas, and builds evidence for accountability. Every data point strengthens advocacy, turning local action into a powerful national movement for clean water.
