Digital Library

The online library development activities were initiated with the main objective of creating a data collection center for all knowledge and research documents relating to the Chiang Khong Conservation Group on a digital platform. The project aims to support the design, structure, and development of the library to be more viable. Our data has been stored fragmented in many places as a printed media document, which hinders access and searchability. As a result, this online library is designed to create a more convenient and easy storage facility for accessing information.

Data Portal

Background

We work with communities and youth networks along the Mekong River in Chiang Rai Province and other Northeastern Provinces of Thailand to build a network of citizen scientists dedicated to monitoring and protecting the Mekong River. These citizen scientists test water quality in the Mekong river and tributaries and use our mobile application to help us produce a database of water quality indices as well as qualitative observations and local knowledge.
