AI Pilot Project Aims to Make Water Treatment Greener, More Efficient and Less Expensive

A pilot project leveraging the University of Alberta’s artificial intelligence expertise to improve the process of making drinking water safe is up and running in the town of Drayton Valley.

The U of A’s Reinforcement Learning and Artificial Intelligence Lab, along with the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute, an Alberta not-for-profit institute with U of A affiliations, Edmonton infrastructure technology startup ISL Adapt and the Town of Drayton Valley, are partnering on the project to develop AI-driven improvements to better predict water treatment needs.
