Business Development Manager
About AquaRealTime
Every day, 2 million tons of municipal, industrial and agricultural waste are discharged into the world’s water. This waste contaminates our drinking water supplies, can ruin our recreational areas, kills animals and even people, and is incredibly difficult to mitigate. This is a $17B-$50B per year problem that is only exacerbated by climate change.
AquaRealTime’s mission is to improve the health of our lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and oceans globally, through real time detection of contamination. Our patent pending solution leverages proprietary IoT sensor buoys in waterways and cloud analytics to help stakeholders contain environmental hazards.
