Achievements& Insights

IoT Environmental Monitoring Solutions has harnessed the power of computer science to adequately: 

1.) Inform populations about the effects of climate change in South Florida

2.) Implement 2 water level steaks in 2 of Wellington's lakes

3.) Initiate monthly algae sprays to prevent mass algal blooms (possible due to the data analysis hinting that Filamentous Algae was responsible for depleting oxygen for fish populations)

Insights:

1.) Higher water temperatures can promote the growth of certain types of algae, including harmful algae blooms. These blooms can subsequently produce toxins and deplete oxygen for fish.

2.) Parameters such as nutrient levels can lead to eutrophication, causing algae blooms (from fertilizer specifically). When these algae die and decompose, they consume oxygen, leading to hypoxic conditions

3.) Changes in water level can affect the concentration of nutrients and the distribution of algae. Lower water levels can concentrate pollutants and nutrients, exacerbating algae growth and its harmful effects.
