Drinking Water Management: A system for sensing and wirelessly disseminating consumer water quality (contamination) and flow (leakage) information in large urban water distribution networks.This technology enables remote monitoring of quality and flow rate (quantity) of water in a region of interest (geographical area, high-rise complex, etc.) through a variety of distributed sensors. It includes a decision support system for continuous analysis of this data, and raising alerts through e-mail/SMSs/alarms on discovery of any violations of WHO norms on water safety, and usage and flow patterns, appropriately taking into account any relevant local and application contexts. |

SenseTube: A hardware/software device to integrate sensor data, human-provided information, computational models and wireless communications to manage crop resources.Sensetube collects data from wireless agricultural sensors, integrates it with data and information provided by humans, and from these inputs performs process based modeling for agricultural crop water management, plant diseases, prediction of various related parameters, and yield improvement. The final goal is to provide advice to the growers on weather, irrigation needs and fertilization requirements. |
