Number of people in the US who are affected by water borne diseases.
Number of students and staff at Pace University.
Distance travelled by the water from the reservoirs to the campus.
An interactive web-app provides an efficient cooler location solution, catering to non-regular users seeking real-time water quality information before consumption.
The concept integrates prominent features, such as physical water cooler indicators, including indicator lights and visual signals, aimed at providing immediate feedback on water quality. The incorporation of crowd-sourced feedback through NFC tags encourages user participation and allows for efficient issue reporting.
Identify measurable metrics representing quantitative data obtained from usability testing across all four tasks.
Approach the water cooler as you would usually. Please observe the color of the light and let us know what you interpret from it.
Let’s say you have just used the cooler to fill up your bottle and encountered an issue with the taste of the water and its appearance. You want to notify the system of this issue.
Let’s say that you have just approached a water cooler station. You want to know whether the water being dispensed is safe for consumption or not before you fill your bottle.
Let’s say you're on the 4th floor of 15 Beekman Street and are trying to find the water coolers on that floor. You notice the ‘Drinking-water’ signage right in front of the elevators.

Users expressed confusion about the Water Quality Index (WQI) metric, particularly its scale. Providing an explicit reference point (out of 10) addresses this concern, ensuring users can interpret the metric accurately. This clarification is crucial for users to make informed decisions based on the water quality information.
Users identified redundancy in the "Other" field on the feedback page. Removing this repetition streamlines the feedback submission process, reducing user confusion and ensuring a more efficient and clear interaction. This adjustment aims to enhance user satisfaction with the feedback process.
Users found the graph trends lacking in meaningful interpretation. Incorporating reference lines in red/yellow/green background colors adds context and helps users understand the significance of the data points. This enhancement ensures that the graph becomes a more valuable and comprehensible tool for average users.
Users overwhelmingly favored the map feature, considering it the highlight of the design concept. Many expressed the expectation that the map would be the initial display upon scanning the Water-fountain signage. Placing the map on the first page instead of nested within a clickable button will ensure users immediately discover the app's most valuable feature.
