Abstract:
Abstract— This report examines how the city of Aiken, South Carolina implemented Internet of Thing (IoT) devices throughout the city to monitor storm water runoff that had been causing severe erosion in the nearby Hitchcock Woods. The role of the monitoring system is to provide feedback for city planners so that they can better understand the outcome of implemented Green Infrastructure to reduce water runoff. Previously no monitoring system for water flow had been in place leaving the results of past efforts to reduce runoff questionable as data collection had been limited. Using a configurable IoT sensing platform more data about the water runoff can now be collected. Our paper examines this IoT sensing platform and how it is implanted to make Aiken a smart city.
