More than 99% of Earth’s water is unusable by humans. The collapse of ecosystems, extreme droughts and flooding reflect the mismanagement of the diminishing 1%.
Less than 3% of Earth’s water is freshwater, with 60% inaccessible in icecaps and glaciers. Of that 3%, only about 0.3% is found in the surface water of lakes, rivers, and swamps.
Whilst consumers can make better voter and community member choices if they are informed about the use of vital resources, increasingly there are competing demands on water from government and industry.
Irrigated agriculture remains the largest user of water globally, accounting for 70% of water use worldwide and over 40% in many OECD countries (OECD).
There is a massive opportunity for the IoT to revolutionise the monitoring and management of water resources. New technologies not only enable existing systems to operate more efficiently, but also make new service delivery models possible.
This webinar will inform how the IoT, enabled by Myriota’s direct-to-satellite connectivity, can help water utility operators, farmers and organisations to achieve less waste, less consumption, and improved management of this precious resource.
