Quality of Karlsruhe's Drinking Water

The Stadtwerke Karlsruhe regularly publish values of several quality indicators for Karlsruhe's drinking water. Unfortunately, they only provide the current values and only as images.

This project therefore provides a small scraper that downloads the images, extracts the numerical values and stores them to disk.

Installation

Most dependencies can be installed via pip (ideally into a virtualenv):

pip install -r requirements.txt

You will also need the Python bindings for the gd graphics library, which are unfortunately not available through pip. On Ubuntu you can install them via

sudo apt-get install python-gd
