Our planet is facing a water crisis that affects thousands of millions of people as the availability of clean water becomes scarcer due to climate change, population growth, and pollution. Clean water is not only vital for humans but also essential for maintaining entire ecosystems, making it crucial to protect and conserve available water sources. Efforts to ensure water quality involve not only reducing water wastage but also developing new, rapid, and affordable technologies to manage water. The incorporation of microfluidic portable devices to support traditional analysis techniques, is being explored as a promising tool to control water quality on-site.
