Lives and businesses are being severely affected, and the cost of recovering after each event continues to mount. The climate crisis is also having a severe effect on the planet, which is being battered by pollution, deforestation, and soil degradation. To create a sustainable environment, we need to contain air pollution.

Water covers 72 percent of the Earth’s surface, its volumes host 80 percent of biodiversity and play a pivotal role in global phenomena, such as climate change. WSense has designed its platform first for shallow water (up to 300 m depth), but now it asserts that it is operational up to -3000 m, opening the door wider to the oceans.

Meanwhile our long term drought, now its its third year with no end in sight, means less available water to fight the fires with. And this summer it also means we’re experiencing mandatory water rationing that restricts our landscape watering to two days a week and forces other cutbacks in water use across the board.
