#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.

#SDG14 LIFE BELOW WATER

Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development

Healthy oceans and seas are essential to our existence. They cover 70 percent of our planet and we rely on them for food, energy and water. Yet, we have managed to do tremendous damage to these precious resources. We must protect them by eliminating pollution and overfishing and immediately start to responsibly manage and protect all marine life around the world.

#SDG6 CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION

Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all

One in three people live without sanitation. This is causing unnecessary disease and death. Although huge strides have been made with access to clean drinking water, lack of sanitation is undermining these advances. If we provide affordable equipment and education in hygiene practices, we can stop this senseless suffering and loss of life.

I Love what Matt Damon is doing to bring Clean Water to the World

You might not believe it, but while two-thirds of the Earth is covered by water, only 3% of it actually is drinkable. This means that roughly 1 billion people are unable to find the clean drinking water they need to survive. When you add inadequate sanitation to the equation, the number of people put at risk more than doubles. This culminates in the heartbreaking stat that over 3 million people die yearly from water-related diseases.
