Jefferson Project Makes Waves With a 'Smart' Lake
At New York's Lake George, a 32-mile-long lake located in the Adirondack Mountains, more than 60 researchers are now turning to sensors and connected systems to better understand environmental threats—including road salt, agricultural contaminants, invasive species and the growth of algae—so that they can better protect the lake and its water.
The initiative, dubbed the Jefferson Project, was launched in 2014. It is a joint collaboration effort involving Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, IBM Research and the FUND for Lake George.
