SmartLake Venture provides real-time monitoring and alerts for water hyacinth movement in Lake Victoria.
Lake Victoria continues to face challenges from water hyacinth invasion, which disrupts ecosystems and local economies.
Blocks fishing and transport routes, making lake navigation difficult and dangerous.
Deoxygenates water and reduces biodiversity, impacting fish populations and fishing yields.
Creates financial hardship for communities relying on the lake for their livelihoods.
SmartLake Venture introduces a Water Hyacinth Movement Detection System to monitor and combat this invasion.
Using satellite imagery, sensors, and AI mapping to monitor shifting hyacinth mats in real time.
Updates are automatically shared with community-based institutions, cooperatives, and authorities.
Organizations relay timely alerts to fishermen, enabling them to plan safer and more productive fishing activities.
Our three-step process to detect, analyze, and alert about water hyacinth movement.
Remote sensing and AI-powered analysis detect hyacinth spread and movement patterns. GIS-based dashboards visualize infestation zones.
Movement reports are sent directly to local organizations through an integrated system. Organizations receive real-time insights on lake areas at risk.
Fishermen are notified about hyacinth drift patterns, helping them avoid blocked areas. Fishing cooperatives adapt operations and safety measures accordingly.
