University spinout to launch water quality app for UK and US waters

Molendotech, a spinout from the University of Plymouth, is launching a new water quality app that will provide live maps of water quality in the UK and US. The app will use data from daily tests that detect E coli and other bacteria in water. This move is significant as it will help beachgoers and water users stay informed about the safety of the water they swim in, potentially preventing illnesses.

Why it matters

The app will provide users with information about water quality, which could impact tourism and recreation. This could also lead to increased awareness and action to improve water quality in the UK and US.
