Big data and Artificial
Intelligence to control algal
Toxic algal blooms are a problem
that is globally increasing due to
nutrients pollution and climate
change. Although the use of
chemicals may provide temporary
relief to the problem, it does not offer
a solution. Now an alternative method
for chemical algae control is available.
Based on the acquisition of big data,
artificial intelligence and ultrasound, this
novel method can control algal blooms in
large water surfaces without disrupting
the ecosystem.
blooms
Toxic blooms of algae are increasing
globally in our waterways, causing a
variety of health-related issues and
environmental degradation. Climate
change and pollution lie at the source
of most algal blooms, making it a
problem that is not easy nor quick to
solve. Nitrogen and Phosphorous form
the main food source for algae, which
enters our waterways through pollution
from industrial or urban sources. These
nutrients may build-up in the sediments of
our lakes and waterways, providing food
for algae for years to come, even when
nutrient inflow to the lake has already
stopped.
Blue-green algae, also known as
cyanobacteria, may cause illness in
humans and kill animals because they
canproduce a variety of toxins and release
them in the water. In the production of
drinking water, algae growth may hinder
the treatment process by cloggingup
filters, increased THM formation
and increased use of water treatment
chemicals. In addition, taste and odor
molecules produced by blue-green algae
give a foul taste and odor to the water
which is difficult to remove from the final
product.
