We will develop open-source, scalable, digital models to inform effective action to tackle waterbody pollution. Our novel use of Machine Learning will efficiently analyse existing data and new diverse data inputs. This will unlock new insights into the complex factors impacting waterbodies, bringing deeper understanding and accelerating positive change. 

“The River Deep Mountain AI (RDMAI) project is set to revolutionise the way we gather insights and data on waterbody pollution – and will accelerate real positive environmental change across our regions. We are really excited to launch this exciting project at our very own Innovation Festival in July.” – Nigel Watson, Group Information Services Director, Northumbrian Water Group
