Imagine H2O is a leading water technology accelerator dedicated to fostering innovation and driving sustainable solutions for global water challenges. Globally, over 2 billion people rely on water sources contaminated with pollutants, in emerging economies, limited infrastructure and high costs often prevent comprehensive water monitoring, which creates gaps in understanding and managing water quality effectively. NatureDots detects and predicts water quality and quantity risks of source water bodies using digital twin to enable preventive actions.
🧪 Monitoring Water Quality Harmful algal blooms, saltwater intrusion, pollution run-off – these are some of the water quality challenges facing communities across Asia due to climate change. Water quality data is a prerequisite to respond appropriately. But in 2023, the UN reported that less than 3% of global water quality measurements came from emerging economies. In this final installment of our Imagine H2O Asia Cohort 5 series, learn about how our entrepreneurs are improving the region’s monitoring capacity (SDG 6.3.2): NatureDots monitors and predicts risks to freshwater bodies with its digital twin to help utilities plan for changing source water conditions before treatment. MIPS Innovations detects a wide range of contaminants in real-time including heavy metals and pesticides using its highly-sensitive water quality sensors.
