Scientists Use AI To Combat Water Scarcity, Desertification
Israel began developing desalination technology back in the 1960s and has also been a leader in fields such as irrigation technology and solar water heating. In 2011, the country achieved a new accomplishment in the field with the establishment of WINT Water Intelligence, a water management company that uses AI to stop water waste.
WINT specifically focuses on reducing water waste after the water has passed the utility meter into a consumer’s home or business. “That’s where the vast majority of it goes, and that’s where things start to break,” Dycian said. “About a quarter of the water that gets into these buildings goes to waste.”
