Boost flood resilience with modular water-saving barriers
Summary
This case study describes SLAMDAM's development of SMART mobile flood barriers and AI-driven IT tools to mitigate the impacts of floods and droughts on communities, farms, and infrastructure across four continents.
Key insights
- SLAMDAM has developed SMART mobile flood barriers integrated with AI-driven IT tools to address the increasing severity and frequency of floods and droughts. These solutions are designed to reduce losses for partners and convert climate hazards into opportunities for irrigation, water storage, and long-term resilience.
- Climate extremes, specifically floods and prolonged dry spells, cause significant damage to infrastructure, farms, and the environment across four continents. For local communities, these events result in contaminated drinking water, damaged homes, and loss of harvests, which leaves local economies highly vulnerable.
