IoT - Environmental
Monitoring
The applications
of IoT in environmental
monitoring are broad − environmental
protection, extreme weather monitoring,
water
safety,
endangered
species
protection, commercial farming, and more. In
these applications, sensors detect and
measure
every type of environmental
change.
Air and Water Pollution
Current monitoring technology for air and
water safety primarily uses manual labor
along with advanced instruments, and lab
processing. IoT improves on this technology
by reducing
the need for human labor,
allowing frequent sampling, increasing the
range of sampling and monitoring, allowing
sophisticated testing on-site, and binding
response efforts to detection systems. This
allows
us
to
prevent
substantial
contamination and related disasters.
Extreme Weather
Though
powerful, advanced systems
currently in use allow deep monitoring, they
suffer from using broad instruments, such as
radar and satellites, rather than more
granular solutions. Their instruments for
smaller details
lack the same accurate

targeting of stronger technology.
New IoT advances promise more Bne-
grained data, better accuracy, and Cexibility.
Effective forecasting requires high detail and
Cexibility in range, instrument type, and
deployment. This allows early detection and
early responses to prevent loss of life and
property.
Commercial Farming
Today's sophisticated
commercial farms
have exploited advanced technology and
biotechnology for quite some time, however,
IoT introduces more access to deeper
automation and analysis.
Much of commercial farming, like weather
monitoring, suffers
from a lack of precision
and requires human labor in the area of
monitoring. Its automation also remains
limited.
IoT allows operations to remove much of
the human intervention in system function,
farming
analysis, and monitoring. Systems
detect changes to crops, soil, environment,
and more. They optimize standard

processes
through analysis of large, rich
data collections. They also prevent health
hazards (e.g., e. coli) from happening and
allow better control.
