Satellite data can act as an early warning system, monitoring water quality changes from space so communit

Beneath urban centres worldwide, leaking #water infrastructure means cities often release untreated wastewater directly into the environment, causing widespread contamination and ecological damage. Advances in #robotics and #AI technology can help stop water leaks, prevent pipe bursts and divert wastewater for treatment and reuse. Based in India, UpLink Venture Fluid Analytics has developed a fleet of robots that scan pipe networks, collect data, and gather water samples to monitor for the sprea
