Empowering communities with data

 The Challenge

A university secured a grant to implement a demonstrator project showing how natural flood defences can have a positive impact on local areas. A critical requirement was engaging the local community and empowering them to build strong business cases so that interventions could be put in place by their council.

Our Approach

A data-rich geospatial platform

Wolf Logic built a geospatial platform integrating IoT weather devices, local weather stations, and scientific research identifying areas of flood defence opportunity. This resulted in a very data-rich platform that end users could use to identify flood defence opportunities.

 An AI agent for flood defence recommendations

An agent was built to review data available from the sensors and suggest possible flood defences that could be installed, based on its knowledge of best practice.

MCP for researchers and technical users

Wolf Logic also implemented an MCP that allowed researchers and more technical users to plug their own AI into the platform data and run a number of scenarios, cases, and options.

Results And Impact

Communities equipped to act

Swimmers can now make informed decisions based on current water conditions rather than outdated laboratory results. The real-time monitoring system provides immediate visibility into water quality changes, particularly after rainfall events, significantly reducing health risks associated with wild swimming.
