#SDG6 Reduce Water Usage on Farms

Saving the Earth with #AI #IoT & #Sustainability

Agriculture is the word’s largest user of water, accounting for 70% of total freshwater consumption. This puts farms in direct competition with humans and animals for Earth’s most precious resource. While some farmers struggle to get enough water due to drought, others waste up to 50% of the water used in crop irrigation. Precision irrigation based on environmental conditions can reduce water consumption by as much as 50% in some cases. Predicting when crops need irrigation is even better.

#SDG6 Reduce Freshwater Leakage

Saving the Earth with #AI #IoT & #Sustainability

Despite water covering 70% of the Earth, only 1% is drinkable freshwater. While one in ten people around the world don’t have access to safe drinking water, roughly 6 billion gallons of freshwater is lost per day leaking from pipes in the U.S. alone. Leak detection can provide early warning and the location of leaks so that water loss can be addressed immediately. Predicting leaks with AI is even better.
