Look beyond conventional approaches to stormwater infrastructure and examine the effectiveness of various decentralized controls that use natural elements and technology to dampen stormwater surges.
Get an exclusive look into the Opti platform at WEF’s 2021 Stormwater Summit. Opti’s Smart Watershed Network Management is employed to manage CMAC sites using real-time data from throughout the watershed.
In New York, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is using the cloud to handle too much rain. When Superstorm Sandy dumped more than 7 inches of rain across the east coast in 2012, New York got hit hard. The city sustained up to $19 billion in damages and saw 5 billion gallons of sewage overflow. In order to smarten up its system, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden worked with Opti and the designers at Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates to dry their water worries. (CNET)
As rainfall becomes heavier and localized flooding more destructive, cities are turning to high-tech, cloud-based platforms to improve efficiency and operations of stormwater systems.
Opti’s CEO, David Rubinstein explains how Opti technology can control storage, distribution, and stormwater flows so that communities do not get overwhelmed, especially important during a pandemic.
Alex Bedig, Co-Founder of Opti explains how proactive stormwater management allows communities to handle rainfall events before they cause damage.
