#A European Flood Alert System to protect Europe's cities In 2010, when a big flood hit Poland, the Czech republic, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia, the situation was quite different.
National authorities had improved their communication strategies between the countries. Furthermore, EFAS allowed for combined efforts to result in an overall much more efficient response to the crisis."It was a big success for EFAS;
floods were forecast and flood alerts were issued well in advance"says Jutta Thielen del Pozo, a meteorology researcher who leads EFAS at the JRC.
These partners can also consult the EFAS Flood Portal on a daily basis. The portal issues maps of Europe where danger zones are indicated by"hot spots".
And when these data reflect a danger for floods, EFAS informs the partners. In 2011 EFAS issued 9 alerts.

000 feet in the heart of the country where it is near no major natural water sources.
Today, Gomez Andonaegui and his cofounder Philip Winter are unveiling the fruits of their work with a new shower head that uses 70 percent less water.
the shower creates millions of tinier water droplets with a surface area that is 100 times larger than the drops that normal shower heads produce.
Because of that, Nebia shower head has a flow of 0. 75 gallons per minute, compared to the standard 2. 5 gallons per minute under EPA standards. howers have been the same for 100 years.
The shower is the most intimate part of your day that you spend with water. Nebia flat, circular shower head is made of a high-density polymer with nozzles that spray out micro droplets.
Then the shower bracket is made from anodized aluminum. It connects to any standard pipe in the home.
For now, it not connected to any kinds of software. However the team thinks there are long-term possibilities to build an Internet-of-Things model that could tell consumers how much water
