Scinded. they care about the natural environment as well. the problems have attracted an innovative project, using cutting edge technology to try to clean things up. the river umber is seen as the mate route for pollution to get to the beach. this water sensor is one of a network of sensors that have been deployed in the catchment area. they include soil sensors and rain gauges as well. the idea is that all that information is brought together to try to more accurately predict when and where pollution events and sewerage spills are likely to take place. the floating sensors are solar powered a...

Of a network of sensors that have been deployed in the catchment area. they include soil sensors and rain gauges, as well. the idea is that all that information is brought together to try to more accurately predict when and where pollution events and sewage spills are likely to take place. the floating sensors are solar powered and connected both to a mobile and long—range wi—fi network. every hour, they send in data on six key indicators. a snapshot of the health of the water. what would you expect to see here, then, if, for example, sewage was being discharged upstream? yeah, so we would...
