What problem are you solving?: Everyone argues about runoff and almost nobody has trusted, local, continuous data to argue with.
Who does it help?: Landholders under scrutiny, councils, and the reef downstream.
What is the innovation?: Landholder-owned sensor network plus a repair program the community actually designs.
What are your barriers?: Sensor cost and maintenance in flood country; funding is short-cycle.

Would you like to collaborate?: Yes — hardware and data people, come and talk to me.
