Issue Better Water Meter

Summary

Better Water Meter asks what would happen if we knew exactly how much water we use and could predict future needs and shortages. It proposes combining the Industrial Internet of Things with satellite data into an automated, comprehensive water accounting system. Such a system would reveal how water is used and where it flows. It would also clarify how much water societies genuinely need, supporting better-informed decisions on global water policy and conservation. Linked to the Boundless Multidimensional Data megatrend and relying on AI, IoT and real-time analytics, its keywords include droughts, green water, satellite water monitoring, water accounting and water scarcity.
