Press Release
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - As wildfires continue to pose significant threats globally, GroundWorx’s system offers a proactive solution, leveraging advanced sensors to gauge soil moisture levels - a key factor in predicting and preventing wildfire outbreaks.
GroundWorx’s sophisticated sensor network, the GX-1 Platform, is designed to provide real-time, accurate readings of soil moisture, salinity, and temperature. This data is essential in identifying areas at heightened risk of wildfires, particularly in regions prone to dry conditions. By pinpointing potential hotspots, GroundWorx aids firefighting teams in deploying resources more effectively, enhancing preparedness and response strategies. It is ideal for use in monitoring soil moisture in frequent burn areas where structures and communities are threatened, where understanding plant available moisture in these areas is critical for determining ignition potential due to plant hydration.
