Kelowna, BC collaborates with Microsoft on a monitoring platform for regional flood threats

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.
