The future of water is digital, with Sam Yenamandra from Murrumbidgee Irrigation The Algorithmic Futures Podcast

    • Technology

In today’s episode, we get a sense of what it’s like to manage a water system here in Australia with the help of our guest, Sam Yenamandra, the manager of Asset Performance at Murrumbidgee Irrigation. Murrumbidgee Irrigation has been going through something like a technological revolution for the past 20 years -- driven by the need to deliver water more efficiently and reliably, and provide greater flexibility to customers they serve. As you’ll hear from Sam, data is at the heart of this revolution. And what they’re doing now is only the start of a massive – and global – change in the way we feed our planet.
This episode was put together by Hannah Feldman and Joseph Guillaume, both of whom are part of the ANU Institute for Water Futures. The ANU Institute for Water Futures collaboration includes the ANU School of Cybernetics and ANU Fenner School of Environment and Society.
