I am currently in a small town called Bhimavaram in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The organization I am visiting have set up a few water purification plants in which they conduct weekly tests for measuring their water quality. Looking at some of their kits, I was reminded of simple kits that you had given me. They also help people involved in aquaculture (rearing of fish) by regularly testing the water quality to ensure the health of fish (something that we could also do with our hydrolabs and other sensors - since they measure temp, pH, DO etc but they do it with the sample collected since that is almost of zero cost).
