Sonaar Luthra: Meet the Water Canary

The video discusses the unpredictability of water crises and the limitations of current water testing methods. It introduces the Water Canary, a simple, fast, and affordable device that uses light to detect water contamination. The device is user-friendly and provides immediate results, allowing for real-time monitoring and preventive action. The goal is to integrate it with wireless technology for real-time data mapping and to open-source the hardware for collaborative development.
