Finite resource: Digitalisation can quench Africa’s thirst for potable water supplies, says Sabine Dall’Omo, CEO of Siemens Sub-Saharan Africa ~
The sobering reality that countless African communities still lack access to safe water is not a cause for despair but a call to action. It’s an opportunity to re-evaluate the region’s water infrastructure and take steps towards achieving Africa’s Vision for 2025, which aims to unleash the full potential of the region’s water resources to stimulate and sustain economic and social growth.After all, water is a finite resource.
Though challenging, there is potential for progress to resolve this crisis through innovation and implementing more efficient, tech-driven systems. For example, Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things play a significant role in protecting valuable water systems from pollution, as demonstrated by an AI and IoT clean waterway project led by Siemens, Yorkshire Water, and the University of Sheffield in the UK.
Using data from sensors, real-time rainfall information and a cloud-based data analytics technology that predicts possible outcomes, the team can now identify anomalies in sewer system behaviour. The technology learns the unique behaviour pattern of each sewer outlet in response to rainfall. It then alerts a response team when an issue is detected to attend to and remove the blockage, preventing any potential spills.
The partnership supplied the automation and electrical equipment and services. The scope of supply included the medium- and low-voltage electrical system and drive components and process instrumentation.
