摘要

迄今为止,公民科学(CS)仍未能发挥其潜力,为全球水资源管理做出贡献,尽管有大量工作宣称这种方法有诸多益处。此外,这项工作还解决了所使用方法的精确性、准确性和可靠性方面的问题。本文介绍了一个黑客马拉松式研讨会挑战的结果,该研讨会汇集了水质专家和公民科学工作者,共同探讨将公民科学家生成的数据纳入国家、地区和全球报告流程主流的障碍和可能的解决方案,从而在政策制定者和基于社区的公民科学家之间建立切实的联系。我们在此以观点型摘要的形式介绍这些发现。本次研讨会的挑战强调了全球公民科学活动的广度和范围,但同时也认识到,这些活动产生积极影响的潜力尚未实现。挑战团队提出,可以通过以下方式提高影响力:培养意识;同时采用自下而上/自上而下的方法来提高成功率;地方领导或 "催化剂 "是启动和维持活动的关键;生成的数据需要实现目的并创造所需的信息,最终促成行动(数据 > 信息 > 行动);认识到我们都是潜在的公民科学家非常重要;认识到 "良好的水质 "是主观的;最后,开发一个允许数据和信息双向传输的通信网关至关重要。

Empowering citizen scientists to improve water quality: from monitoring to action
Citizen science (CS) has so far failed to achieve its potential to contribute to water resource management globally despite a significant body of work proclaiming the benefits of such an approach. Also, this work has addressed concerns over precision, accuracy and reliability of methods used. This article presents the findings of a hackathon-type workshop challenge that brought together water quality experts and CS practitioners to explore barriers and possible solutions to mainstream citizen scientist-generated data into national, regional, and global reporting processes, and thereby provide a tangible connection between policy makers and community-based citizen scientists. We present the findings here as a perspective-type summary. This workshop challenge highlighted the breadth and scope of CS activities globally yet recognized that their potential for positive impact is going unrealized. The challenge team proposed that impact could be improved by: developing awareness; applying a simultaneous bottom-up/top-down approach to increase success rates; that local leaders or ‘catalysts' are key to initiate and sustain activities; that generated data need to fulfill a purpose and create required information, and ultimately, lead to actions (data > information > action); recognizing that we are all potential citizen scientists is important; recognizing that “good water quality” is subjective; and lastly that developing a communication gateway that allows bi-directional data and information transfer is essential.
