“...Far too little is known about the true state of the world’s freshwater resources. We cannot manage what we do not measure,” the World Meteorological Organization said in a statement. "We cannot manage what we do not measure" is the central thesis behind building our IOT / AI product 'hydroEye AI' AI is so accessible today (we carry one in our pocket and it is already running our day-to-day life!. But we do not have enough good data to harness the power of AI for effective water management. Through our innovative cutting-edge hardware (hydroEye RTU) and Cloud Platform (hydroEye AI), we solve the problem of collecting data, unifying data and harness the power of AI to provide insights at finger tips for integrated water and wastewater network management! www.hydroeye.ai #hydroEyeAI #iot #ai #climatechange #digitalwater https://lnkd.in/gDURfsBU

Here's an article from Dryad CEO Carsten Brinkschulte in IoT Now. The past year has witnessed unprecedented wildfires worldwide, fueled by climate change-induced factors like increased greenhouse gases and droughts. These wildfires wreak havoc on the environment, releasing more emissions and causing economic losses of up to $140 billion annually. Traditional wildfire detection methods are often slow, relying on satellite, cameras, or human observation, leading to delayed responses and increased damage. However, emerging technology, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and sensor systems, offers hope for better wildfire management. IoT-driven wildfire detection systems use interconnected sensors to monitor environmental conditions and employ artificial intelligence to detect wildfires' early signs. This technology can reduce detection times from hours to minutes, allowing for a far quicker response and more efficient resource allocation. To effectively manage wildfires, we need increased funding for detection, as well as a shift in perspective – wildfires should be seen as human problems that can be tackled through technology, innovation, and global collaboration. In summary, the escalating wildfire challenge driven by climate change calls for urgent action, and the convergence of IoT technology and sensor systems offers a promising solution for timely detection and mitigation, with substantial environmental and economic benefits.

What i find more concerning than the sheer volume of #blackouts detailed in this article is the average length and the timing of the #poweroutages. The high correlation with #extremeweather events implies that the grid is not able to withstand the impacts of these storms, compounding the situation is the fact that prolonged outages during and after these events not only poses a significant risk to personal safety but the economic impact on business is likely to be substantial. #hurricaneseason #energyinfrastructure #climatechange #VPP #gridoptimization #smartgrid #batterystorage #virtualpowerplants #energyefficiency #smartbuildings #iot #ev #energytransition #energynews

Weather phenomena such as extreme heat, storms or floods have increasingly tragic consequences. 🌡🌬 Although you cannot influence the weather, you can adapt to the challenges that arise. In this way, negative consequences can be mitigated and/or prevented. Various applications have already proven themselves in use. Find out here how #iot can be used to counteract the current challenges in municipal #watermanagement. 👇🏼

Sometimes, a simple heads up can prevent problems. Think about the reverse alerts on a truck, the oil warning light in your car, or your dog barking when a stranger enters the yard. Microshare has instrumented that simple idea with #EverSmartAlert. From water leaks to rodent activity to air quality that falls below par, EverSmart Alert notifies the right person at the right time. https://lnkd.in/gwkkTw87 #rodentcontrol #waterleak #airquality #iot

Grid-related wildfires are the most preventable...   Here's more from Bob Roper from our recent Grid Resiliency Webinar: 💬 "Over the course of my career life, property and insurance losses have truly skyrocketed. These not only have primary effects but also collateral secondary effects across our economy, our environment, and our lives. Since 2015, we have experienced whole communities being lost, from Tennessee all the way to recently Hawaii and Lahaina. The good news is that grid-related wildfires are also the most preventable with good grid monitoring."   👉 Bob serves on the President's Wildland Fire Mitigation & Management Commission. He has 46 years of firefighting experience, including work as the Nevada State Forester and Fire Chief of Ventura County, CA.   Thanks to Bob and the rest of our expert panel: Karen Wayland, Sean Kevelighan, and Jon Wellinghoff.
