Kelowna, BC Microsoft Regional Flood Monitoring Platform
Complete
City officials pursued a method for predicting overflows of waterways like Mission Creek during seasonal melts and storms. The partnership resulted in a platform built with Azure IoT Hub and Azure Stream Analytics. Historical data in 24 categories like precipitation and lake levels are merged with real-time information from local water meters into a single dashboard. Kelowna can prepare for flooding days in advance thanks to accurate water level modeling.
Project Succeeded
Kelowna received the Presidents Committee Choice Award at the 2022 UBCM Community Excellence Awards.
