Lead innovator
techniques. Satellite data is
transformed into highly detailed
rainfall data. An innovative algorithm
provides rainfall forecasts. This is
input for a flood model that provides
flood maps on street level
8. Flood risk assessment
methods
Collects urban drainage data through
crowd sourcing; uses a
multidisciplinary approach with
social, technical and institutional
aspects and a communication strategy
(i.e. by social media) to create
awareness and commitment among
citizens
HKV Consultants
Kenya
9. TAP21 purified water
distribution in the
twenty-first century
Introduces a franchise business
model, whereby vendors dispense
purified water via 24/7 prepaid water
ATMs. Payments and performance
are monitored online
Maji Milele Ltd
10. Maji Mkononi –
helping communities in
Kibera
Enables community members to use
their mobile phone to acquire information about location and real-time
availability of water at water points
while providing water providers with
essential information and water level
data from their water points
MobiTech Water Solutions
11. Reducing water loss
by improved data
systems
Seeks to minimise water losses by
developing wireless sensors to collect
data on water flow, pressure, levels –
readings serve as early warning signals for burst and leakages or water
theft. Sensors are used under the free
radio frequency spectrum to transmit
data into a consolidated dashboard
(alongside SIM card-based data loggers) to decision-makers
Upande Ltd
12. Exploration of sales
channels for organic
fertiliser
Uses online methods (social media)
and a mobile platform to disseminate
information about their products –
biosolids-based organic fertiliser and
insect-based animal feed all made
from human waste
Sanergy
13. eSOS: efficient and
intelligent toilets
eSOS (emergency Sanitation Operation System) makes maximum use of
novel ICTs combined with the stateof-the-art toilet and novel technology
for faecal and septic sludge treatment.
The eSOS concept provides a unique
