Project Noah is also the codename of a home repair project of a home in Phoenix Az, in which cold water from bathroom faucets was emitting a acrid petroleum like smell. The term was first coined in the first half of May 2013. Completion of Project Noah and the complete removal of smell was achieved with the installation of full home filtration and de-scaling water system on May 25th 2013.

Project Noah is a free mobile application that can be used to explore and document local wildlife. "Noah" is an acronym for "networked organisms and habitats".

Available worldwide as an iPhone app in iTunes and Android app in Google Play,[1] Project Noah aims to become a common mobile platform for documenting the world's organisms. Beyond documentation, the iPhone app offers users an opportunity to participate in ongoing citizen science research projects by tagging contributions into specific field missions and can be used as a location-based field guide as well. All contributors are connected with an online community.

The project's co-founder, Yasser Ansari, believes that "not only is there an educational need and an environmental need but a deep, deep human need for all of us to reconnect with our planet."[citation needed] Project Noah has won several awards.[2] Currently, Project Noah has contributors from over 55 countries participating in a variety of missions ranging from documenting the impact of the Gulf Coast oil spill to sharing ladybug and squirrel sightings for ongoing research at major universities. They're currently partnered with National Geographic.[citation needed]

The project has featured by several news sources including CNN,[3] Brian Lehrer TV,[4] New York Times,[5] Slate,[6] Gizmodo,[7] US News,[8] Make Magazine,[9] TreeHugger,[10] Council for the Internet of Things,[11] IBM's Smarter Planet[12] and GOOD.[13]
