Divirod tech and SAS AI and IoT analytics help
organizations better manage and predict water risks caused by
climate change
BOULDER,
Colo., July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Water data
and IoT provider Divirod has joined the SAS Internet of
Things (IoT) Partner Ecosystem. SAS is a global leader in data
and AI, and this collaboration will bring together Divirod's
patented data-collection technology and SAS' artificial
intelligence (AI), IoT analytics and advanced modeling
capabilities.
With technologies from the two partners, businesses,
governments, insurers and researchers can access, analyze and
derive insights from crucial water data. These insights will help
them measure and predict water-related risks – from urban flooding
and sea-level rise to groundwater depletion and drought effects –
and develop safe and cost-effective responses to climate
change.
According to the World Meteorological Organization, a
specialized agency of the United Nations, five billion people will
experience water shortages by 2050, leading to an estimated
$5.6 trillion in economic losses. To
prevent both climate and economic crises, real-time solutions are
essential. Divirod uses satellite technology and patented on-site
IoT sensors to provide detailed data for predicting, analyzing, and
addressing water-related risks.
Divirod's water-data network, combined with the AI and IoT
analytics of partners like SAS, helps address many of the long-term
challenges with global water data by delivering AI- and data-driven
insights. Until now, global water data has been scarce, poorly
managed and inadequately modeled, leading to inconsistent
measurement and imprecise decisions.
"We need more reliable and automated sources for water data to
reduce risk and provide critical and real-time insights for flood
management and water risk mitigation," said Javier Marti, founder and CEO of Divirod. "With
SAS, we can provide a comprehensive solution powered by AI and IoT
analytics that delivers timely and relevant insights from real-time
water data."
"This partnership harnesses the flow of data in the Divirod
water network and applies SAS AI and IoT analytics to transform it
into better, faster decisions," said Jason
Mann, Vice President of IoT at SAS. "With water such a
precious resource, these decisions can not only enhance business
and agriculture, but also expand access, and improve and save
lives."

About Divirod
Divirod is building the most
comprehensive local, national, and global environmental water data
network ever established. With the ability to rapidly deploy and
measure all forms of water with millimeter precision, the Divirod
network fills critical geographic data gaps and augments currently
existing but outdated, sparse, and disparate environmental
water-monitoring systems that we are forced to rely upon today.
Short-term, filling data gaps with Divirod network data enables
localized and real-time "speed to knowledge/ action" for
more-informed emergency responses to protect us from impending
water risks that threaten properties, economies, and, most
importantly, human lives. Over time, increased captured data
through the Divirod global network coverage enhances smarter
water-risk decisions and powerfully guides critical resiliency
initiatives to minimize future water risks. To learn more, and
