AFD-1 Water Flow Sensor
Charity: water
The AFD-1 Water Flow Sensor measures water flow rates within an Afridev or India Mark II handpump and transmits data via mobile networks.
AFD-1 water flow meter measures water flow rates within an Afridev or India Mark II handpump and transmits data to enable response by local repair teams. It comes with a software platform, called Dispatch Monitor™, that will receive incoming data packets from those sensors and visualize that information for anyone in the world.
The data is transmitted via a GSM network and the information is used to determine the state of the pump and the water consumption patterns. Charity: Water uses the information to allow donors to see the state of the wells they fund.
The sensor has been deployed in Northern Ethiopia, as of March 2016 and is intended to be deployed wherever an Afridev Pump is installed.
Charity: water with Partner NGOs.
