When people think of Switzerland, idyllic scenes of green meadows and pristine lakes often come to mind. But the country struggles with seasonal water shortages caused by changing glacier and snow patterns. The integration of IoT sensors, such as the Decentlab DL-PR26 | Pressure / Liquid Level and Temperature Sensor for LoRaWAN, enables precision water level measurements and proactive detection of anomalies. These sensors ensure continuous real-time monitoring for years and eliminate the need to replace batteries.

Our partnership with akenza makes sensor integration via their platform effortless. By leveraging akenza's rules engine, sensor data triggers automatic actions. For example, immediate SMS or email alerts are sent when water levels drop - an important measure to avert potential pump damage.

The interaction of IoT and water monitoring enables Switzerland to optimize the use of water resources and to fight the spectre of water scarcity.

Thanks to our partner akenza for the report and excellent collaboration.
