GC Insights: Lessons from participatory water quality research in the upper Santa River basin, Peru.==$Geoscience Communication, 7$==(2), 145–150. https://doi.org/10.5194/gc-7-145-2024http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12816/5616Here we share four key lessons from an interdisciplinary project (Nuestro Rio) that gathered community perspectives on local water quality in the Santa River basin (Peru) utilising a digital technological approach where we collected data via a novel photo elicitation app, supported by a field work campaign. The lessons explored in this article provide insights into challenges and opportunities for researchers considering developing technological tools for encouraging participation and engagement in marginalised communities.application/pdfenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessInterdisiplinary projectWater qualityAndroid AppSanta RiverParticipatory researchinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#1.05.01Geoscience Communicationhttps://doi.org/10.5194/gc-7-145-2024
