IBM Pilots Blockchain and IoT Sensor Solution To Track Sustainable Groundwater Usage In California

Tech giant IBM continues to collaborate with a number of leading organizations to solve complex business challenges through its blockchain network. Announced today, IBM Research is partnering with The Freshwater Trust (TFT), a nonprofit working to protect and restore freshwater ecosystems, and SweetSense Inc., a provider of low-cost satellite connected sensors, to pilot blockchain and IoT technologies for monitoring groundwater usage in one of the largest and at risk aquifers in North America. The University of Colorado at Boulder will provide additional research support for this project, which is also being jointly funded by the Water Foundation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
