Smart wells that can tell how good their water is won Reem Al Junaibi, a PhD student from the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi, a semi-final place in the UAE Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Ro-botics Award for Good. The Dh1 million award sup-ports innovation in the key area of artificial intelligence and robotics. Al Junaibi's project, "Waterloop", is one of 20 that have qualified to the semi-finals stage out of 664 submissions from 121 countries around the world. Waterloop leverages artificial intelligence technologies to create smart wells that can sense and communicate vital information about the water from the wells, in which the sensors are placed, including measurements of water levels and bacteria. Essentially, it is a machine that has the ability to learn and collect data about water, which it then communicates to help ensure that the water's quality and efficient use. "The UAE AI and Robotics Award for Good competition is a place to try something that will push automation to a new dimension, which I believe is exactly what Waterloop is doing - it can use automation to transform the lives of millions of people around the world, who currently rely on inadequate, unmonitored well water," said Al Junaibi.The device will also provide a digitised historic record of the well's water quality and levels, among other parameters, which could prove to be extremely useful for future planning.Al Junaibi is one of ten semi-fi-nalists for the category of National prize, which awards Dh1,000,000 to a top finalist from the UAE.Winners will be announced during a live finals event, to be held on February 6, at Dubai Internet City.
