PUB, Optiqua to Develop Water Sensors

Singapore’s National Water Agency PUB and Optiqua Technologies have signed a collaboration agreement to develop real time sensor technology for water quality monitoring in the country.

The Singapore-based monitoring solutions developer will develop affordable sensors, which will then be implemented throughout the island nation’s water grid.

The lab-on-chip platform will monitor the contaminants through sensors in drinking water distribution grids, reducing response time and recovery cost through its early warning system.

The sensors will help establish an island-wide real time early warning system, which will help protect public health and improve the overall water quality protection.
