Where AI adds value
Ideas for machine learning and AI agents built on this kind of data.
- 01
Risk maps
Predict contamination where no samples exist, from geology, land use and climate.
- 02
Anomaly alerts
Catch sudden spikes in sensor or lab data automatically.
- 03
Flow forecasting
Train LSTM-style models on past records to forecast river levels and flow days ahead.
