Smart Water technology provides safe and clean water to Indigenous communities in Canada

In November 2015 there were 105 long-term drinking water advisories on public systems on Canadian indigenous reserves that affected more than 10,000 homes and community buildings. In March 2021 it is projected there will be 0. This ambitious improvement will be possible thanks to the application of the Internet of Things. The First Nations represents more than 50 nations and 50 indigenous languages from 634 communities in Canada. More than 1.67 million people in Canada identify themselves as an Indigenous person (according to the 2016 Census). About half of them live in provinces of Ontario and British Columbia.

Drones, Sensors and Blockchain for water quality control in the Volga river to promote trustworthy data and transparency

In Russia, approximately 70% of drinking water comes from surface, while the rest comes from groundwater. Unfortunately, water pollution is a major issue in this country, with more than 10 million Russians currently lacking access to quality drinking water. According to the Russian regulatory bodies, around 35 to 60% of total reserves of drinking water do not meet sanitary standards. This fact favors the proliferation of health issues in many cities and villages across the country, as only 8% of the wastewater is correctly treated before being returned to the waterways.

Protecting and conserving the beluga whale habitat in Alaska with Libelium’s flexible sensor platform

Beluga whales are considered critically endangered with a population estimated around 150,000 worldwide. In 2017, a natural gas leak was detected approximately 6 kilometers offshore in the Cook Inlet near Nikiski (Alaska). Alaskan authorities responded with detailed and challenging monitoring requirements due to the area being a critical habitat for endangered beluga whales. Libelium's partner company Aridea Solutions designed a solution to monitor the leak based in a buoy equipped with Libelium's wireless sensor platform to monitor air and water near the leak affecting the Beluga whales and other aquatic mammals.

Early flood detection and warning system in Argentina developed with Libelium sensors technology

Libelium and the Argentinian company Rack2 have developed a permanent flood monitoring system based on IoT technology in La Emilia, a small village in the North of Buenos Aires. Its location next to a river has been subject to several flood alerts throughout its history. With the last flood in 2017, a 75% of the population were forced to evacuate, one person died and more than 3,000 people were moved to several evacuation centers. The final objective of the authorities was to have a permanent water monitoring system, not only for risk alerts but also to produce a satisfactory water flow, to control and record its behavior. Rack2, Libelium’s distributor in Argentina, has implemented an early flood detection and warning system using Libelium technology, a reliable and stable structure in terms of communications and accuracy.

Controlling fish farms water quality with smart sensors in Iran

<a href="https://asm-co.ir/" title="Afarinesh Samaneh Mehr Engineering Co." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Afarinesh Samaneh Mehr Engineering Co.</a> (ASM), Libelium official distributor in Iran has developed a Smart Water sensor network to measure the water quality parameters of the fish farms in the North of the country. The main objective of this project was to control water quality in order to increase quality and productivity as well as to reduce costs and increase profits. Having information about water quality parameters in fish breeding ponds offers the fish farmers the possibility to manage their installations in an improved and more effective way, accelerating their inner processes.
