Big data and Artificial Intelligence to Control Algal Blooms

Toxic algal blooms are a problem that is globally increasing due to nutrients pollution and climate change. Although the use of chemicals may provide temporary relief to the problem, it does not offer a solution. Now an alternative method for chemical algae control is available. Based on the acquisition of big data, artificial intelligence and ultrasound, this novel method can control algal blooms in large water surfaces without disrupting the ecosystem. Toxic blooms of algae are increasing globally in our waterways, causing a variety of health-related issues and environmental degradation.
