The Problem with Water Hyacinth

Lake Victoria continues to face challenges from water hyacinth invasion, which disrupts ecosystems and local economies.

Disrupts Fishing & Transport

Blocks fishing and transport routes, making lake navigation difficult and dangerous.

Reduces Fish Stocks

Deoxygenates water and reduces biodiversity, impacting fish populations and fishing yields.

Economic Strain

Creates financial hardship for communities relying on the lake for their livelihoods.

Our Smart Solution

SmartLake Venture introduces a Water Hyacinth Movement Detection System to monitor and combat this invasion.

Solution

Detect & Track Hyacinth Movement

Using satellite imagery, sensors, and AI mapping to monitor shifting hyacinth mats in real time.

Transmit Data to Local Organizations

Updates are automatically shared with community-based institutions, cooperatives, and authorities.

Inform Fishermen of Hyacinth Movement

Organizations relay timely alerts to fishermen, enabling them to plan safer and more productive fishing activities.

How It Works

Our three-step process to detect, analyze, and alert about water hyacinth movement.

1. Data Capture

Remote sensing and AI-powered analysis detect hyacinth spread and movement patterns. GIS-based dashboards visualize infestation zones.

2. Data Transmission

Movement reports are sent directly to local organizations through an integrated system. Organizations receive real-time insights on lake areas at risk.

3. Community Alerts

Fishermen are notified about hyacinth drift patterns, helping them avoid blocked areas. Fishing cooperatives adapt operations and safety measures accordingly.
