Public water, closer to everyone.
Mappalacqua is a civic and environmental project promoted by SCOOL APS. It brings together local knowledge, practical technology and community participation.

Water is already there. The information is not always easy to find.
In towns, parks and along trails there are drinking fountains, accessible springs, water dispensers and refill points. Their location or operating status may be unclear.
Mappalacqua gathers geolocated reports, photos and short descriptions. Information is reviewed and made available through a public map.
We want to make an existing common good easier to see and use.
