mart water management companies are becoming increasingly important as water scarcity and environmental concerns continue to rise. These companies are dedicated to developing and implementing innovative technologies and strategies to help conserve and manage water resources more effectively.

Water is a fundamental resource that is essential for life, and with the increasing demand for water due to growing population and industrialization, the need for sustainable water management practices is more important than ever before. Smart water management companies use a range of technologies, such as IoT sensors, artificial intelligence, and predictive analytics, to monitor and manage water usage, detect leaks, and optimize water distribution.

Overall, the importance of smart water management companies cannot be overstated as they play a vital role in ensuring that water resources are used in a sustainable and efficient manner, benefiting both the environment and society as a whole.

HydroPoint is not afraid to get their hands dirty, dig into problems, and create innovative, out-of-the-box solutions to solve them.

HydroPoint's Suite of Solutions: WeatherTRAK, a weather-based irrigation system, includes flow products and cloud-based central management to save water and deliver operational savings.

Proven in 25 independent studies, including perfect scores on the EPA's

www.theenterpriseworld.com | 17

WaterSense certification, WeatherTRAK achieves 95% of maximum water conservation potential.

Baseline is a sensor-based irrigation control system able to dynamically respond to real-time data using algorithms to make better irrigation decisions. With cloud-managed controller platforms utilizing modern communication and networking options, Baseline has earned the EPA WaterSense label for both weatherbased and soil moisture-based control and has an engineered solution for all sites.

WaterCompass is a comprehensive flow monitoring, leak detection, and water use analytics service that gives customers visibility of their water usage in real time. Utilizing flowmonitoring IoT sensors, data use analytics, and a full-time team of water experts to provide water use visibility across an entire site, WaterCompass enables site owners and managers to finally overcome the systemic water blindness that plagues properties across the country. From sensing leaks and breaks and notifying appropriate team members as they happen, to working with onsite facility managers to solve water use anomalies, customers from retail to multi-family housing, government entities, and others have benefited from the 24/7 visibility of water use on their sites. WaterCompass minimizes the risks that come from unmanaged water such as increased water costs, property damage, disruption to operations, brand damage, and liabilities.

What Makes The Solutions Special: HydroPoint is the only smart water management provider that offers solutions for both indoors and outdoors - with smart irrigation and water use analytics and leak detection. No other

18 | February 2023

organization provides a full 360 degree view and monitoring of water use across an entire site or property. Plus, the solutions are scalable and can be implemented across a portfolio of properties, providing complete transparent water management across hundreds or thousands of sites.

Technology For The Greater Good: While smart technology is at the core of what they do, what sets HydroPoint apart is the blend of water management solutions and its team of water use experts overseeing the water use profiles of all their customers.

HydroPoint's solutions combine onsite sensors and control systems, with realtime cloud connectivity supported by an IoT platform designed to deliver indoor and outdoor smart water management solutions.

This powerful combination of specialized onsite hardware, 24/7 wireless connectivity, and advanced data analytics is managed and monitored by their team of water management specialists, world-class customer support, and water use experts.

Customer Success Stories: Lowe's — To reduce their environmental impact and increase operational efficiency, Lowe's kicked off a HydroPoint smart irrigation pilot, which was quickly rolled out to a few hundred stores by the end of the following year. Lowe's has since expanded the program to 939 retail facilities. The impressive results include annual water savings of over 650 million gallons, resulting in $5 million cost savings. Because most of Lowe's stores use water from their local municipality, the company created annual downstream GHG savings of about 750 metric tons

CO2e, which is comparable to over 84,000 gallons of gasoline.

Target — Target is reducing water scarcity and improving water quality outcomes across their retail stores and supply chain facilities. They have deployed WeatherTRAK at 200 of their sites, to water plants only when necessary, find underground leaks quickly, and pause irrigation when it's raining or rainfall has been sufficient. Using HydroPoint smart irrigation is currently saving Target over 60 million gallons of water per year and helping them achieve their ESG goals.

What is the story behind The Statue of Liberty?

“We will not forget that Liberty has here made her home; nor shall her chosen altar be neglected."

—President Grover Cleveland, accepting the Statue of Liberty on behalf of the U.S., October 28th, 1886 The Statue of Liberty stands tall in the Upper New York Bay, representing the universal symbol of freedom. The Statue of Liberty was originally gifted

26 | February 2023

by France to the USA as an emblem of strengthening friendship, and also as a staunch sign of their mutual wish for liberty.

Over the many years, it has evolved into so much more. It is also regarded as the Mother of Exiles, who stands strong, welcoming the millions of immigrants, as an epitome and embodiment of empathy, hope and opportunity for everyone who is in search of a better life in the USA. Representing the spirit of America itself, the statue excites the desire for freedom in people all over the world.

Here are a few interesting facts about The Statue of Liberty you don't want to miss out on-

Ÿ

The crown of Lady Liberty bears 7 spikes each representing the seven oceans and continents of the world.

Ÿ

The Statue is inspired by a Roman Goddess, Libertas- goddess of liberty.

The Wall Street- What's the Story behind the Charging Bull?

Ÿ

Lady Liberty originally was brown in color, being made out of pure copper.

However, after 1900 it began to develop a green patina due to the oxidation.

The Charging Bull or the Big Bull on the Wall Street has today become the universal symbol of the American stock market and its big business. It is also one of the most visited and popular sights in the city. Tourists pour in from around the world to see this bronze beast.

Ÿ

The Statue of Liberty used to be a lighthouse and guided ships in New York's harbor.

Ÿ

Lady Liberty has been struck 600 times by a lightning bolt, but none of the bolts have caused any kind of severe damage to it.

The Charging Bull sculpture was created by an Italian-American artist, Arturo Di Modica. Di Monica came to NYC in the 70s, and being inspired by the city's energy he opened a studio on

Grand Street in the modern day SoHo. Di Monica started working on the bull after the stock market crash of 1987, where he felt he owed something to the Americans for so graciously accepting him and supporting his career as a sculptor.

He paid a whopping sum of $360,000 of his own money to build the Charging Bull. With the Charging Bull, he wanted to inspire people to carry through hard times and celebrate the consistency and perseverance of an American business professional. He chose the bull to represent the rising market and a thriving economy, which everybody was fighting for after the big crash.

What is the Best Time to Visit the Bull?

The answer is incomplete without a tour to the local culinary culture.

substitute for gasoline cars. Expanding on sustainable energy, the company has established its presence with 400+ stores and galleries, about 100 service centers, and 30,000+ superchargers around the globe.

Why People Love the Brand?

The renowned EV maker has a huge fanbase across the globe. Ever wondered why? Here is a list of things that could explain why the EV giant has such a cult following: 1. Showing that EV ≠ Boring When you thought of electric cars, the notion was that they are low mileage, slower compared to their gas-powered counterparts, and in general meh.

However, Tesla single-handedly changed those opinions with the launch of their first car, The Roadster.

The Roadster looked sporty and luxurious, was exhilarating to drive, and rocked a combo of impressive range and speed—all the things that were unheard of in an EV. After the launch of the Roadster, all the other automotive companies also started keeping their eyes on the EV industry, with many coming up with their own EV variants.

2. Self-Driving Cars Although the accuracy of Autopilot is debatable, the fact that your car could drive you to your desired location, without human input was bound to catch some eyeballs, and so it did at the time. It sounded cool, turning many into loyal fans of the brand.

5. The 'Elon' factor

3. Solar-powered

For many, Elon Musk is Tesla, and vice versa. Since the very beginning, Elon made his beliefs in the company clear, investing $6.5 million way back in 2004.

Would the company still be in this high position if it weren't for Elon and his vision? Well, that's a topic for debate.

While your opinion of Elon could vary, his contributions to Tesla along with the science and engineering field are hard to ignore.

Tesla has a decorated solar portfolio, with products like solar panels, solar roofs, and the solar inverter. With the production of solar energy, the company makes a difference in the residential and commercial spaces, solving the needs of the industries along the way. The company's acquisition of SolarCity in 2016 was also a key step toward the solar-powered future.

4. Elon Musk and the Word of Mouth “What message is your brand sending?” “What story does it tell?”

These are some of the additional questions that matter to customers.

Having said that, nothing quite gives you a FOMO like your friend or a family member raving about the newly bought car they love—That's the magic of word of mouth.

As is the case with most things related to the brand, Elon Musk plays a significant role here as well. From making headlines for tweeting, to buying the whole Twitter, his journey has been a rollercoaster. As an influential figure with millions of followers, His tweets can have a huge impact on the company mentioned in the said tweet, directly or indirectly.

Electrifying Competition As the world is moving away from gasoline-powered cars, many have started switching to electric. The big players in the automotive industry —Volkswagen, General Motors, Ford, Hyundai, and others are rapidly making waves in the EV space.

However, Elon Musk says, the biggest competition for his company comes from Chinese EV makers. While Elon hasn't mentioned any specific names, we believe those Chinese automakers could be BYD, Nio, and XPeng.

3 Products to Lookout for Note: We are assuming that these products won't get delayed again, for whatever reason 1. Cybertruck Expected Release: 2023-Year End With constant delays making a regular appearance, the Cybertruck has been hyped for quite some now. And if you follow Tesla and Elon Musk, you've probably witnessed the infamous hammer test fail more than once.

However, Cybertruck is the most powerful tool they have ever built.

Made with peak durability and

passenger protection in mind, Cybertruck also has an impressive driving range of more than 500 miles.

While the release date is yet to be confirmed, the company aims to start deliveries in Q3, 2023.

3. Model 2 baby EV

Expected Release: Beginning of 2024

Expected Release: 2024 or 2025

Here is another delayed product, the Roadster. To give you a perspective on the delay, people have been talking about the Roadster since 2016. Elon, in a tweet posted in 2021, said that the Roadster should ship in 2023. The

Affectionately calling your car 'baby' isn't a new phenomenon. However, this might be the first instance of the brand itself having 'baby' in its official name. If the rumors are true, the car will cost you around $30K and will not be available before 2024.

Earning the Adoration of the world Tesla is one of the most adored brands today. With a clear vision of making sustainability the new norm, it is surely moving toward achieving it. While views about the company or its CEO may differ, when it comes to EVs, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this is 'The Brand' that ingrained the belief in the hearts of people that—the future could be electric.
