Youngsters and customers of Brabant Water will themselves use a sensor to monitor drought in their own gardens during the summer months. They will then be sent watering advice for their garden.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kwrwater.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/droogtemonitoring1-780x470.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Drought Monitoring Exploratory Research project focuses on the drinking water utility\u2019s customers, including youngsters. This summer they will be measuring soil moisture and, on this basis, receive watering advice. \u2018What is special about this project is that the participants will themselves get to work on a sensor to measure the soil moisture,\u2019 says Martin Korevaar of KWR. \u2018In mid-May 2021, we organised a workshop in Eindhoven for a group of young people, in which they learned how to solder the sensor together. We also explained the project to them.\u2019<\/p>\n<h2>Weather forecasts<\/h2>\n<p>The participants install the sensor boxes in the garden, and the sensor then takes periodic readings and sends the soil moisture data to the server. KWR analyses the self-monitoring data using a so-called \u2018container model\u2019. This provides the basis, together with the weather forecasts of the KNMI (Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute), for the watering advice sent by e-mail to the participants over the course of a summer.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kwrwater.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/droogtemonitoring2-780x470.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Peak load<\/h2>\n<p>\u2018The goal of this approach to research is to work in an innovative manner on raising awareness among the water utility\u2019s customers,\u2019 says Martin Korevaar. \u2018By building a sensor and carrying out the measurements themselves, the participants\u2019 feeling of ownership and connection with the project is strengthened.\u2019 For water utilities the project contributes to having more involved customers, who are more frugal with water, so that the peak load during dry summer months is flattened. The monitoring project runs from June through to October 2021.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kwrwater.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/droogtemonitoring3-780x470.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KWR and Brabant Water have launched in Eindhoven a Joint Research Programme project on drought monitoring, citizen science and opportunities for water conservation.
