Smart Water Management
IOT Solutions
Water Management Affects Multiple Sectors: Agriculture, Livestock, Industry, Services, Cities, etc.
- Monitoring of potable water, detection of chemical product leaks in rivers, real-time control of leaks in the sea, monitoring of pressure variations along pipes, and control of water quality in shrimp and tilapia pools, among others.
- The growth of the population and climate change are the main challenges for water, a scarce resource.

Parameters to Measure
- Smart Water is a product designed to detect the most relevant parameters related to water quality control such as dissolved oxygen, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), pH, conductivity, and temperature.
- Dissolved oxygen, pH level, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), conductivity, salinity, TDS - Kcl (total dissolved solids), temperature, nephelometric turbidity, suspended solids, sludge blanket.
- Selective ion probes: ammonium, nitrate, chloride, sodium, and calcium.
- Biochemical and Organic Level Sensors: Fluorometers for Chlorophyll, Phycoerythrin (Freshwater BGA), Phycoerythrin (Marine BGA), CDOM / fDOM (Colored Dissolved Organic Matter / Fluorescent Dissolved Organic Matter)
