The smart rain barrel that can be operated and controlled online.
Studio Bas Sala developed the “Smart Rainbarrel”. The smart rain barrel can be operated and controlled online. The barrels together form a network that is linked to the local weather forecast so that the rain barrels operate optimally.Through online weather analysis the fully automatic system ensures that the barrels are full during dry periods and empty before storm water falls. The Smart Rainbarrel is a simple and fun way to use rainwater and create more awareness about resilient cities.
Using rain forecasts and the monitoring of water levels, water management systems can be powered by cheap renewable energy and contribute to the stability of the local power grid. The Smart Polder can simultaneously pump water, generate and store energy and prevent urban environmental hazards. These benefits promise an improvement in the quality of urban life and environment.
