Digital Innovation Meets Water Management

Alberta Innovates is pleased to introduce the Water Innovation Connect Series. Join us each month, from June until December, for a new webinar sharing ideas and outcomes from projects receiving Alberta Innovates’ support. We hope to provide valuable information and learnings to stakeholders and to spark discussion within the water community.

Digital Innovation Meets Water Management

The world is becoming increasingly technical. Apps for everything, self-driving cars and “smart” homes. Embracing this technology revolution could increase our water use efficiency and help improve the quality of water moving through the system.

Presentations:

• Jason Kopan, ISL Adapt, “Optimizing the Treatment of Drinking Water Using Reinforcement Learning.”
• Amirreza Sohrabi, Roshan Water Solutions, “On-site rapid testing of water samples for E. coli and total coliform.”
• Cam Cote, Intelirain, “A Systems Engineering Approach for Precision Irrigation.”

Please note that information to access the webinar will be provided prior to the event.

About the Water Innovation Program (WIP)

The Water Innovation Program (WIP) is designed to help achieve the goals of Alberta’s Water for Life Strategy and Alberta’s Water Research and Innovation Strategy. The knowledge and technologies developed in this program will help to create a cleantech industry in water treatment, support 30% improvement in water use conservation, efficiency, and productivity by 2030, and provide safe, secure, and reliable water resources for a growing population while maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems.
