How IoT is Changing Wastewater Management | IoT For All
Water is perhaps one of the most precious natural resources. With rapid urbanization, water is quickly becoming scarce. Organizations and systems that operate wastewater management processes have long been dependant upon Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems to monitor water processing and redistribution systems. And yet the practical limitation of SCADA’s installation points has restricted its use. You may be aware of water scarcity and quality issues—e.g. the Flint Michigan crisis. But you might not have heard of the promising ways in which IoT can aid wastewater management. In this article, I’ll demonstrate how industrial and municipal groups are leveraging IoT to solve wastewater management problems.
