Stormwater- & Floodmonitoring in Hongkong

Hong Kong is facing significant challenges in managing its channels, stormwater, and floods. With its dense population and geography, the city is vulnerable to flash floods during heavy rain. Moreover, rapid urbanization has led to significant changes in natural drainage patterns.

The city authorities has also invested in advanced technologies such as Decentlab's DL-MBX sensor for LoRaWAN to monitor water levels, detect blockages in drainage channels, and provide real-time data for flood warning systems. These measures aim to reduce the risk of flooding and improve the city's resilience to extreme weather events.
