EcoSense
Web platform to monitor air, water and soil quality at the Vereda del Lago park in Maracaibo: it shows each reading in real time, classifies it by its range and generates PDF reports.
The challenge
Vereda del Lago is a park on the shore of Lake Maracaibo, and its environmental readings are usually scattered and hard to read. The challenge was to bring its air, water and soil data into one place and present it so anyone can understand it, not just a specialist.
Architecture and solution
Web application in PHP and MySQL (on XAMPP). Each area — air, water and soil — is a module with its own panel and chart, refreshed every 2 seconds. Each reading is classified against reference ranges (for example, good, moderate or poor for air) and every chart comes with a plain explanation of what it shows. The simulation is modeled on real IoT sensors (PM2.5, CO2, pH and turbidity), and reports are generated as PDF with FPDF.
