Introduction: Coastal Serenity Meets Smart Innovation

Diu is a picturesque coastal town located in the union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, India. Situated off the southern coast of Gujarat’s Kathiawar peninsula, Diu Island covers an area of approximately 38.8 square kilometers. The climate of Diu is generally pleasant throughout the year, with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 38°C and the monsoon season lasting from June to September. The Union Territory is focusing on developing smart city initiatives to improve urban living standards while promoting sustainable development. In collaboration with Oizom and Synergy Telematics Pvt Ltd, Diu Smart City adopted advanced environmental monitoring technologies to transform its urban development strategy.

The Challenge: Managing Environmental Health in a Coastal City

Diu Smart City faced several challenges related to environmental monitoring due to its coastal location. The city required continuous, real-time data on air quality, weather conditions, and environmental factors to ensure regulatory compliance, public health safety, and efficient urban planning.

Air Quality Concerns: Monitoring key pollutants such as PM1, PM2.5, PM10, PM100, CO, CO2, NO2, SO2, and O3 was critical to maintaining healthy air quality and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations set by authorities.

Unpredictable Weather Patterns: The coastal environment demanded precise data on temperature, humidity, pressure, rainfall, wind speed, and direction for accurate weather forecasting and disaster preparedness.

Disaster Preparedness: Coastal weather risks made it essential to have reliable environmental data to support emergency response strategies.

Tourism and Public Health: Diu’s popularity among tourists necessitated proactive air quality management to enhance visitor experiences and safeguard residents’ health.

Without real-time monitoring and data-driven insights, taking timely corrective actions and implementing effective environmental policies was difficult.
