Existing stormwater systems require significant investments to meet challenges imposed by climate change, rapid urbanization, and evolving regulations. There is an unprecedented opportunity to improve urban water quality by equipping stormwater systems with low-cost sensors and controllers. This will transform their operation from static to adaptive, permitting them to be instantly "redesigned" to respond to individual storms and evolving land uses.
现有的雨水系统需要大量投资,以应对气候变化、快速城市化和不断变化的法规带来的挑战。通过为雨水系统配备低成本传感器和控制器,为提高城市水质提供了前所未有的机会。这将使它们的运行从静态转变为自适应,从而能够即时“重新设计”,以应对个别风暴和不断变化的土地利用。
