Water stream sound11/25/2023 Cédric Berger, CEO of Precidata states "Thanks to our system, the Swiss Confederation, cantons, municipalities and conservationists now have a tool to aid their decision-making and for modeling floods and droughts. Lightweight and quick to install, even in hard-to-reach locations, the monitoring system gives users regular, accurate measurements of the flow rate of a waterway and enables the data gathered to be compared with older records in real time. The result is an integrated solution which is mobile, durable, and ready for field use. Optimizing water management without altering the natural environmentĬSEM used its algorithmic expertise in AI and Computer Vision to adapt and integrate the algorithms for segmentation, 3D mapping and flow rate, while Precidata oversaw the integration of the various parts. The system can also generate live flood warnings during exceptional events such as heavy rain or flash floods, as well as issuing alerts for high/low water level/flow rates, or drought, etc. In addition to continuous monitoring, the installation offers users the option to connect on demand to watch the waterway in real time. Installed on the ground near the waterway, the equipment operates 24/7, all year round, to generate, store, and wirelessly transmit the data gathered to a monitoring server. The system is self-powered, thanks to a solar panel and a battery. The solution operates using energy-efficient cameras (two infrared cameras and one-color camera) which record the water flow from two different angles so that these images can be reconstructed in 3D. The installation designed by Precidata and CSEM underwent a feasibility evaluation in 2021, and, with the support of the Canton of Neuchâtel, now features an imaging system with multiple cameras, including dedicated lighting for continuous shooting. One of the winning concepts, the solution proposed by Neuchâtel-based firm Precidata and the CSEM is a contactless system designed to measure the flow rate of mountain torrents, bisses and streams without any major work to the stream.Ī cost-effective solution for measuring the water flow rate using real-time and logged data Based in Châble, Switzerland, this center is dedicated to innovation in the field of water and natural resources. The stream is a vein carrying its water to the human beings.This specific project had its origins in the BlueArk Challenge, a call for projects launched in 2021 by BlueArk. The river bank is a Roman using his shield to push away the enemy. The stream is like a drop of water trickling down a window. The rapids zoom like footballers trying to score goals. The stream is a deadly snake, slithering through the knobbly stones at the bottom of the fast flowing cloudy water. The river is a grizzly bear, leaping to catch its prey. The estuary is a seal, trying to find its way back into the tidal ways. The rampaging river moves swiftly, stealing anything in its path. The river is like a silver ribbon, laid across the land. The waterfall is like a baby taking his first step – but failing. The stream is a fish, swimming in between the rocks. The crystal clear waterfall is like a giant shower. The waterfall is like a diver, reaching for the waters that await it. The creek is a flower, gradually blooming into a river. The waterfall glistened as the spotlight sun shone upon it, whilst it performed for the fish. The waterfall is a boulder, racing angrily to the bottom to upset the calm water below. The river is a runner, tumbling rapidly over the river bed. The estuary opened his mouth wider and wider until he vomited waves into the sea. The rapids, gushing and free, shouting, mad river like a hunting bear. The lake is like a cheetah waiting to charge. The lake is a snake, slithering past the sturdy rocks and chomping up the tributaries as it sneakily slithers by. The canal smiled maliciously as his toxic smell roamed around the air. The rapids crash from side to side like a lion trying to get out of its cage. The rapids are like children, always full of energy, bouncing and leaping everywhere they go. The brook is a baby, crawling through the countryside. The fast moving waterfall is like a stampede rushing to get to safety. The Wharfe is a snake that sneaks around Otley. I was so impressed with some of the ideas! Here is a taste: We’ve been thinking about rivers recently in Year 6 and today we were trying to capture our thoughts on rivers by using metaphors and similes in our writing.
