There are a number of ways in which IoT is revolutionising water management.
These efficient new solutions both current and in the making have come at the right time given the current challenges that the global water industry now faces due to an increasing population, eco-system pollution, and water rights amongst many more.
In the current climate, making sure that water usage is being properly regulated, and consumed efficiently is critical, says freelance writer Jocelyn Brown.
This article will look at some of the new technologies available for improving water management, that will help contribute towards tackling these forthcoming global issues.
With this in mind, a popular water saving solution idea is to harvest rainwater to use for flushing toilets.
The smart moisture sensors are a water saving upgrade over and above conventional systems, as they will only activate when the soil moisture gets below a certain level, whereas their less advanced cousins will water the plans like clockwork regardless.
Beyond this, the smart sensor provides further optimal watering solutions by taking into consideration factors such as the soil type in the garden, the type and amount of plants, as well as their locations.
Small water saving solutions such as these mount up and make a huge difference over time.
If you happen to be a fan of water features, having an indoor water fountain is much more economical on water saving than a garden one, not only that, they also make for an impressive and eye-catching display.
