A sensor system makes brackish water fit for consumption at all times.
In Holland, a startup has developed a smart device to monitor water stored in reservoirs. Sensors measure water quality and consumption while an algorithm analyses the data.
If the quality is compromised, unusual amounts of water are taken or the fill level is low, tank owners are informed by SMS. Private households can order more water by app from truckers.
Devices installed in the latter’s vehicle tanks accurately measure the amount of water delivered. Connecting multiple devices (energy savings achievable) makes it possible to estimate regional consumption levels. Helping governments and NGOs make the tough calls.
AI is also being used to help provide clean water for all.
