Can Blockchain Technology Help Us Solve the Water Management Crisis?

[Kargai]

We all know that water will be a big problem in the future for humans, in fact already today 4.5 billion people lack access to safely managed sanitation services, attributed to water scarcity.

On the other hand blockchain technology are already used to manage ressources more effectively (look at Power Ledger for example) but could it be apply to the water ? The first step would be to track how water is actually used, where we can improve things and to share the informations with everyone in real time. That's where blockchain can enter in the mix.

While the technology cannot be used to track the flow of water, it can still be used to reduce costs, increase efficiencies of how the precious commodity is distributed. Focus until now has been on how the technology can be used to create smart cities. However, a new trend is slowly emerging that could help change the water scarcity debacle.

I like to see blockchain related projects who are trying to kick a real life problem for the greater good (I like Power Ledger) so i'll look to see if there is decent project about that specific issue in the future.

Blockchain applies to all spheres of industry, business, medicine and so on.  And I think in the near future we will see how it affects our life.
