Bring Your Industrial Process Data Securely Online
In today's rapidly evolving industrial landscape, environmental stewardship is no longer optional—it's essential. As we forge the future of water and energy, understanding the current state and potential of water management is crucial. Here are three critical facts you need to know:
1. The Alarming Rate of Water Waste
Did you know that 32 billion cubic meters of fresh water are wasted globally each year? This staggering amount highlights the urgent need for innovative solutions in water management. Effective remote monitoring can play a pivotal role in reducing this waste by providing real-time data and alerts, allowing for immediate action and efficient resource use.
2. The Rise of Water Wells
In the past decade, 2.9 million new water wells have been drilled in the US alone. This increase underscores the growing demand for reliable water sources and the need for advanced monitoring systems. SPI’s remote monitoring technology connects water pumps and wells to any device via cellular or satellite, offering a comprehensive dashboard and alert system that ensures optimal operation and sustainability.
3. Agriculture's Impact on Water Resources
Global agriculture accounts for 70% of freshwater use. This immense consumption necessitates efficient water management practices to ensure sustainability. By implementing SPI’s technology, agricultural operations can achieve a 20% improvement in water usage efficiency. For instance, Arizona alfalfa fields have reported annual savings of 751 metric tons of CO2—equivalent to planting 34,200 trees—thanks to enhanced monitoring.
Fast Fact: SPI’s remote monitoring solutions offer a 3X return on investment while reducing carbon footprints and improving sustainability across various applications, from water wells to agriculture and water utilities. Read here for case studies: https://sp-i4.com/blogs/
