Lead Research Organisation:
University of Warwick
Department Name: Centre for Interdisc. Methodologies
Abstract
Waterproofing Data investigates the governance of water-related risks, with a focus on social and cultural aspects of data practices. Typically, data flows up from local levels to scientific "centres of expertise", and then flood-related alerts and interventions flow back down through local governments and into communities. Rethinking how flood-related data is produced, and how it flows, can help build sustainable, flood resilient communities.
To this end, this project develops three innovative methods around data practices, across different sites and scales: 1) we will make visible existing flows of flood-related data through tracing data; 2) generate new types of data at the local level by engaging citizens through the creation of multi-modal interfaces, which sense, collect and communicate flood data, and; 3) integrate citizen-generated data with other data using geo-computational techniques. These methodological interventions will transform how flood-related data is produced and flows, creating new governance arrangements between citizens, governments and flood experts and, ultimately, increased community resilience related to floods in vulnerable communities of Sao Paulo and Acre, Brazil.
The project will be conducted by a highly skilled international team of researchers with multiple disciplinary backgrounds from Brazil, Germany and the UK, in close partnership with researchers, stakeholders and publics of a multi-site case study on flood risk management in Brazil. Furthermore, the methods and results of this case study will be the basis for a transcultural dialogue with government organisations and local administration involved in flood risk management in Germany and the United Kingdom.

Planned Impact
Scientific communities: The results of WP1, WP2 and WP3 will produce each one journal article or refereed paper in conference proceedings for the corresponding scientific communities (i.e. interdisciplinary data studies/science and technology studies, interdisciplinary media studies, applied geography/geographic information science) spearheaded by WP leads. Furthermore, the PI will lead on an article to publish project results in a high-impact multidisciplinary journal.
General audience: A website and social media presence will be created for the project. It will serve as an entry point to all products and publications achieved. It will also feature a news blog updated at least quarterly about activities and results of the project. We will also produce a quarterly project newsletter to be posted in the website and sent to the identified stakeholders.
Decision and policy makers on flood risk management in Sao Paulo and Acre: In the first months of the project, a comprehensive policy and stakeholder analysis will be made by means of interviews with key stakeholders in Brazil. The goal will be to produce a policy analysis document that will be reviewed by the Steering Committee and feed into the dissemination and work plan. This will include governmental agencies, academic and non-academic research organisations, NGOs and grassroots organisations involved in flood risk management in Brazil. This contact list will be updated throughout the project. They will also be invited to take part in two policy and practice impact workshops described in WP5. A policy briefing summarising the main results and lessons learned will be distributed in the final event.
Decision and policy makers on flood risk management in Brazil and Latin America: This extended list will include stakeholders from other states of Brazil and neighbouring Latin American Countries. They will be invited to the final impact workshop in Sao Paulo.
International/European stakeholders: WP5 will enable a transcultural dialogue that will allow us to disseminate and translate results and knowledge beyond Brazil/Latin America to the wider European and international communities. This will consist of two policy and practice workshops in the UK and Germany as further described in WP5.
Knowledge utilisation: key stakeholders of the states of Sao Paulo and Acre are directly involved in the project activities: local communities in Sao Paulo and Acre, Sao Paulo City Council, Government of Acre, CEMADEN, CPRM. They will directly benefit from capacity building during the research and co-production of research outputs. Furthermore, the project's legacy includes raised awareness of flood risks and management procedures in the communities, a prototype visualisation interface for local decision makers in the city level, an interface of citizen-generated data that will be made available to the monitoring systems of CEMADEN.

| Description | Improving the resilience of cities to floods and other natural hazards has been recognised as a requirement for sustainable urban development in the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 of the United Nations. In alignment with this goal, the Waterproofing Data project was aimed to contribute to sustainable transformations, with a particular focus on vulnerable communities in Brazil where floods have been increasingly frequent and have had significant impacts. In Brazil, 8.3 million people are estimated to live in areas which are vulnerable to rainfall-related disaster risks (Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics/IBGE, 2018). There are approximately 43000 areas in 1000 different municipalities spread across the whole continental territory of Brazil, which have been identified to host vulnerable communities at risk of severe landslides and floods. Improving the capacity of these communities to cope with flood risks can make a significant contribution towards the SDG 11 and SDG 13 targets of making cities more resilient to extreme weather events by reducing the number of deaths and the number of people affected by water-related disasters, with a focus on protecting the poor and people in vulnerable situations. The benefits of better early-warning and effective community-based risk reduction programmes could save human lives and mitigate the significant economic impact of disasters, which are estimated by the World Bank to have caused R$ 336 billion losses (£48 billion) in Brazil from 1995 to 2019. Waterproofing Data has investigated the governance of water-related risks, with a focus on social and cultural aspects of data practices. Typically, data flows up from local levels to scientific 'centres of expertise', and then flood-related alerts and interventions flow back down through local governments and into communities. Rethinking how flood-related data is produced, and how it flows, can help build sustainable, flood resilient communities. To this end, we have aimed at developing a range of innovative methods around data practices, across different sites and scales. These methods are related to three core objectives: 1. Making visible existing flows of flood-related data through tracing data across multiple scales. 2. Generating new types of data at the local level by engaging citizens through the creation of multimodal interfaces, which sense, collect and communicate flood data. 3. Integrating citizen-generated data with other data using geo- computational techniques. The development of this new methods has so far achieved three emerging findings for which of the key objectives, which we summarise below. 1. Making visible existing flows of flood-related data through tracing data across multiple scales Our project has made a methodological contribution to the social study of data and specifically to critical data studies, by proposing an adaptation to the ethnographic medium of the diary to develop a method for studying data and related data practices called "data diaries" (Tkacz et al. 2021). By applying this method to understand the data practices within the situation room of the Brazil's National Disaster Monitoring and Early Warning Centre, "data diaries" is an innovative method which we have shown to have three specific affordances. First, data diaries make informality visible, allowing us to consider data in their everydayness; as participating in practices, grammars and idioms that are highly specific and resist formalisation. Second, the data diary enables researchers to understand how data "intervene" on a number of levels, from the constitutions of the data space as such, to the configuration of the interface and the unfolding of situations. Third, the production of the diary is an inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge co-production endeavour, which means that the diary as a process offers space of cross-border knowledge creation through ongoing dialogue and through the presentation of the diary at various stages as a work in progress. 2. Generating new types of data at the local level by engaging citizens through the creation of multimodal interfaces, which sense, collect and communicate flood data. Within this objective, we co-produced a new method for engaging populations living in vulnerable urban communities with transformative data generation, which we call 'data gardening'. This method addresses the challenge of simultaneously promoting high-quality data generation and community engagement. It has been developed through empirical investigation of flood-prone communities in impoverished neighbourhoods of the city of São Paulo in Brazil from 2019 to 2022 and is aimed at transformative data production, i.e., it leverages the generation of data by citizens as a pathway to sustainability transformations. For doing so, we developed a new theoretical framework for approaching citizen science and citizen data generation from the lens of the critical pedagogy of the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire (Porto de Albuquerque and Almeida, 2020). In doing so, the "data gardening" method innovates in two main directions. First, the data gardening method provides a methodological approach to data-driven citizen science projects with an explicit focus on social transformation based on Freire's critical pedagogy, serving as a guide for researchers and practitioners in this field. Second, our application of the data gardening method to provide evidence on the need for an expanded perspective on the role of data within sustainability transformation processes (Porto de Albuquerque et al., 2021). Our results have shown that data can acquire transformative functions in data generation, and these functions should be explicitly leveraged and considered when carrying out citizen science projects, particularly in the South. As such, these results provide important guidance for future citizen science projects to move towards empowering data imaginaries and theories of change which are grounded in the realities of the South and co-constructed with the people living in conditions of oppression and vulnerability. 3. Integrating citizen-generated data with other data using geo-computational techniques. Within this objective, the Waterproofing Data international consortium developed an innovative methodological approach for combining community data generation and geographic data analytics to improve the resilience of communities vulnerable to extreme weather events such as floods. It consists of a digital hub platform ("data lake"), a citizen-science mobile app and a model curriculum for engaging schools and local communities in citizen science activities. Students and volunteer community members learn concepts about flooding risk, vulnerability and resilience, and act as citizen scientists by generating and analysing data about their own neighbourhoods. They learn how to construct low-cost rain gauges and record the daily rainfall, which they send via our mobile app to our partners Brazil's national agency for flood early-warning, CEMADEN. They also record flooding events in the app, as well as their impacts on the neighbourhood. The citizen-generated data is integrated with official data (e.g., from sensors and satellites) in the data lake, and the flood monitoring agency uses these integrated data to develop better flood early-warning and risk models, thereby improving the accuracy of future flood warnings. This approach addresses the major data gaps that exist around the world about the local impacts of extreme weather events to vulnerable communities. This lack of information currently undermines the establishment of effective strategies for improving resilience, including better early-warning systems and community-based risk reduction. The Waterproofing Data approach innovates by combining citizen engagement and advanced urban data analytics. It goes beyond existing citizen science approaches by being grounded in promoting learning about climate change impacts in the schools and vulnerable communities, whilst at the same time generating invaluable data for flood risk management. The fact that these flood data are community-generated means they have even greater impacts than improving flood warnings. Students and community members are empowered by acting as citizen scientists, contributing data to the national flood early-warning system. And by observing the correlations between rainfall intensity and flood events, they gain a critical awareness and deeper understanding of flood risk in their communities. By closing current data and knowledge gaps about the most vulnerable and impoverished, our research has shown how to democratise the generation and usage of data to groups which are frequently excluded from policy and decision making in climate adaptation (e.g., informal settlements), improving fairness and equity of adaptation planning and implementation. |
| Exploitation Route | The main outcomes of this project were: - Created a better understanding of social and cultural aspects of flood risk data, which can be used by stakeholders to improve early warnings and implement flood risk reduction measures. - Introduced concepts related to flood risk and citizen science into the school curriculum in Brazil, which can be used by schools and civil protection volunteers across the country; - Improved stakeholders' access to flood data, so they are able to generate it and to understand it better; - Brought significant evidence on the impact of the project's tools by democratizing data and by addressing the data gaps hampering climate action. We are already scaling up the project and expanding the geographical scope across Brazil through associated UKRI project listed under other funding (see details in the impact narrative). |

| Description | After expanding impact activities of the project with UKRI grant within the Global Research Translation Awards (EP/T015683/1), our data-driven innovation approach, including a functional citizen-science mobile app prototype and a model school curriculum, has been successfully co-produced and trialled with 300+ students from 20+ schools and civil protection agencies of five Brazilian states. This successful trial has proven the positive impact for the communities involved, enabling them to democratise flood data, raise awareness, and co-design new initiatives to reduce disaster risks. This landmark success sparked positive media reports stating our approach "could change the way communities deal with floods in Brazil", as covered in 170+ outlets, including interviews given for 5 national broadcast TV programmes and 6 major newspapers. Given this success, in the next phase of the project, our approach has been adopted as part of the "Cemaden Educação" programme of Brazil's National Disaster Monitoring and Early-Warning Centre with the goal of scaling up the usage of our pedagogical approach as a major risk reduction programme engaging all schools in vulnerable communities in Brazil in community data generation and improving the resilience and afterwards expanding to other Latin American cities. Only in Brazil, these would have tangible impact for the lives of 8.3 million people who live in areas which are vulnerable to rainfall-related disaster risks, as estimated by the Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics (IBGE) in 2018. The benefits of better early-warning and effective community-based risk reduction programmes could save human lives and mitigate the significant economic impact of disasters, which are estimated by the World Bank to have caused R$ 336 billion losses (£48 billion) in Brazil from 1995 to 2019. The project has engaged elderly people, school children, teachers and national agencies in Brazil to achieve impacts on thinking, capacity and practice, as follows: The process of co-producing and using flood-related data has underpinned significant changes in thinking by: 1. Enhancing the inclusion of elderly people (e.g. the project draws upon their knowledge of past flood events in order to generate local data); 2. Informing the education of school pupils (e.g. students have learned how to make rainfall gauges and record data); 3. Deepening community understanding about flood risks (e.g. communities now think differently about rainfall, floods and their neighbourhoods). This co-production process enhanced capacity through the development of: (a) a citizen-science mobile app; (b) a guide for school teachers, which have: 4. Informed the practice of teachers in 24 schools, and agents in 16 civil protection agencies, in nine cities, across five states. Since late 2021, the use of these project outputs has resulted in the generation of more than 7,390 rows of data by 369 citizen reporters. In turn, these data have: 5. Enhanced the capacity of community members living in flood-prone areas to take protective action (e.g. reports from the local civil defence agency in Pernambuco suggest that the activities of the citizen scientists enabled early action during the floods and landslides of May 2022, which contributed to saving human lives). 6. Informed the practice of CEMADEN (e.g. community-generated data are used to improve flood accuracy and early warning systems). Reflecting on the significance of the project, the Director of CEMADEN wrote, 'Improved local-level data co-produced by citizens [] enables CEMADEN to improve the current understanding of the local impacts of flooding across the continental territory of Brazil.' CEMADEN has recently secured resources amounting to R$1.4m (~£235K) to scale-up and extend the reach of the project outputs. |

| Title | Sketch Map Tool |
| Description | The Sketch Map Tool is designed to support the collection of local spatial knowledge with the help of OpenStreetMap as a base layer. It is applicable especially when talking about risks of floodings or other hazards in familiar areas. The Sketch Map Tool combines different steps you need for sketch mapping and can support in different tasks and challenges of preparing and analysing participatory mapping. |
| Type Of Technology | Webtool/Application |
| Year Produced | 2022 |
| Open Source License? | Yes |
| Impact | Within the Waterproofing Data project a first prototype version of the Sketch Map Tool has been developed. The HeiGIT ohsome dashboard is used by the Sketch Map Tool for data quality analyses (Klonner et al. 2021). In a following project, which was funded by the German Red Cross, the Sketch Map Tool was improved and extended in order to make it available for real world usage by the German Red Cross and similar organizations. The project was performed in close cooperation between the HeiGIT and the GIScience Research Group, Heidelberg University. Madagascar was chosen as a study site for testing the application of the Sketch Map Tool. |

| Title | Waterproofing Data Dashboard |
| Description | The dashboard provides a web responsive interface to visualise the data produced through the waterproofing data platform. Its designed is inspired by the equitable design process in which the perspectives and interests of community members actively shaped project technology components. The Data Dashboard enables the creation of a citizen monitoring network by allowing them to visualise data about rainfall and local flood impacts, whilst providing integrated access to citizen-generated and official data sources. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2022 |
| Open Source License? | Yes |
| Impact | The dashboard has provided an accessible web interface to stakeholders despite their involvement with data production. Researchers, risk management officials, students and government officials have accessed the dashboard to navigate across the more than 6,000 records with flood-related data produced by more than 230 citizen scientist in Brazil. During the project's closing event, researchers and stakeholders could interact directly with the citizen data produced across the project and realise their main features. About 20 researchers were informed about the dashboard capabilities live. More than five media outlets in English and Portuguese linked to the dashboard launch has expanded the audience and the interest in the rest of project outcomes. |

| Title | Waterproofing Data Platform |
| Description | This Waterproofing Data platform compiles the different components developed for the project. It includes the different elements working together to make possible the integration of citizen-generated data about flooding and official rainfall records. The platform support two interfaces: a mobile application for flood data collection and a dashboard for aggregated and site specific data visualisation. Complementary, the platform uses a data lake to ingest different data types and formats that combines azure function and azure data lake gen2 technologies. To complete the technological stack, there are transformation functions, a metadata oriented database, a user authentication module and a query API to enable data access. The idea of a platform aims at implementing a novel reference architecture that brings together cutting edge technologies to citizen-science. Therefore, the data platform is designed and implemented to potentially support data production and integration for other risk-related events. |
| Type Of Technology | Software |
| Year Produced | 2022 |
| Open Source License? | Yes |
| Impact | The platform has positively impacted vulnerable communities in Brazil after allowing them to engage with a collaborative and equitable design process in which their perspectives and interests actively shaped the application design and, therefore, the platform functionalities. After its implementation more than 230 citizen scientists have enrolled and produced more than 6,400 citizen reports in four Brazilian states. The platform has allowed citizens from vulnerable communities to report rainfall and flood data and make it available to local authorities for reference. The produced data is accessible through the Waterproofing Data Dashboard |
