I’ve been inspired by the fact that climate change leads to problems of saltwater intrusion and flash floods, which affects agriculture, water commutators, and communities. Furthermore, these problems devastate global food security and sustainable communities. However, there have been continuous efforts by governments, but still, the problem deteriorates, particularly in vulnerable regions. Therefore, Satellite Communication Systems and Artificial Intelligence are needed for early warning and water management to address these issues by using long-distance data transmission and a data analysis system that provides more accurate and earlier warnings. This supports the Sustainable Development Goals 2, 6, 11, and 13 by United Nations, ensuring that everyone can receive early warnings for efficient planning and management of agriculture, communities, and water transportation.

Tell us what the water concern in your country is!

Saltwater intrusion and flash floods significantly impact Thailand and the world, aligning three SDGs of the United Nations. 1. Challenging food security by affecting agricultural areas. (SDG 2) 2. Reduces clean water production by sanitizing water. (SDG 6) 3. Harming sustainable cities and communities by damaging urban cities. (SDG 11)

This is what I think is one of the solutions for a sustainable future:

A sustainable future requires an efficient water management system that includes:  1. Satellite Communication Systems for equalization and widespread use to address this issue globally. 2. Artificial Intelligence for accurate forecasting analysis by processing big data.  3. Notification Systems for widespread use, benefiting agriculturists, communities, water commutators, and water productions.
