A challenge for New York City's efforts to reduce the negative impacts of street-level flooding and noise pollution has been how to measure these issues effectively. While the general design of SONYC and FloodNet sensor networks build upon the same basic concept of sensor networks, they are based on two different types of sensor technologies.
