Satellite Tracking for Evaluation and Analysis of Marinery (STEAM) addresses the challenge of water pollution by combining satellite and HAPS data with machine learning to monitor pollution levels.

The problem STEAM solves

One of the standout features of STEAM is how it tackles the massive issue of water pollution by decentralizing responsibility, empowering everyone to play a role in solving it. The core idea is simple: pollution should be a collective problem-solving effort. Using cutting-edge satellite and HAPS data, STEAM replaces outdated water quality monitoring methods with a faster, more interactive approach. The platform simplifies complex data into easy-to-understand visuals like heatmaps, showing pollution levels across different areas. Users can view stats for specific locations or analyze changes over time with tools like time sliders or animations.

Another key feature of STEAM is how easy it is to report water-related issues in your area. Whether it’s pollution or stagnant water, users can fill out a quick form with details, add the location, and even upload photos. Once submitted, the platform allows users to track the status of their reports, showing whether they are under review, pending action, or resolved. This level of transparency fosters trust and motivates more people to get involved.

But STEAM doesn’t stop at reporting—it’s about building a community. When an issue is reported, nearby users are notified, encouraging collaboration on clean-up drives, petitions, or raising awareness. To keep users engaged, the platform gamifies the process with badges and leaderboards, turning water protection into a fun and rewarding experience.

To ensure real impact, STEAM integrates with local authorities and environmental groups. Verified reports are sent directly to the appropriate organizations—such as municipal offices or activist groups—so they can take prompt action. This automation eliminates delays and ensures that critical issues aren’t ignored.

STEAM is more than just software—it’s a movement.
