About Cleanlet Android App

Welcome to Cleanlet, an innovative and exciting platform blending environmental action with the thrill of gamification. Developed under NSF funding for Drexel University's College of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering, Cleanlet aims to empower users across the United States to take an active role in combating climate change and reducing neighborhood flooding.

Using Cleanlet is as simple as it is impactful. Sign up to create your account and explore a map centered on your location, highlighting nearby storm drains or 'inlets'. Click on any inlet to learn more and subscribe for notifications. Now, you're part of our proactive community!

When our system detects an upcoming adverse weather event, a cleaning job is generated. You'll receive a push notification about this event, giving you the opportunity to step up and prevent potential storm drain flooding. Accept the assignment, roll up your sleeves, and get ready to make a difference.

Your mission? Clean the debris from your assigned inlet. Use Cleanlet to snap before and after photos, showcasing your contribution. For every completed job, you'll earn points that elevate your status in our gamified level system.

Currently, these points serve as an indicator of your commitment and bragging rights within the Cleanlet community. But remember, the real rewards extend far beyond the app. Every cleaning job helps in reducing flood risk, contributing to a safer and cleaner neighborhood. Moreover, you'll be directly contributing to valuable research into climate change and its impacts on storm drain flooding.

Cleanlet is designed for a wide range of users - students, local environmental groups, boy scouts/girl scouts, and anyone concerned about the environment and flooding in their neighborhood. By providing an engaging, rewarding way to get involved in environmental action, Cleanlet turns every user into a citizen scientist. Together, we can mitigate the effects of adverse weather events and contribute to a healthier, safer environment for everyone.

Join Cleanlet today. Take the first step in your eco-challenge, and see the difference you can make. With Cleanlet, you're not just playing a game - you're changing the world, one storm drain at a time.
