Listen "Water in the information age"
Episode Synopsis
The information age, and the internet in particular, has fundamentally shaped how we live our lives today. And IoT, or the Internet of Things, pushes the information we can draw from the world around us, even further. Dr Kevin Winter is part of a team at the Future Water Institute that has been using IoT to capture data that will help us understand and monitor the changes occurring across South Africa’s water bodies. With this technology, they can immediately detect threats (like pollutants) to our water and instantly alert the correct department or officials. And there are so many other possibilities. This is water in the information age!
