Imashini ipima ingano y'ubutaka bwo mu busitani

Igikoresho cyo gupima ubutaka gishobora gusuzuma intungamubiri mu butaka no mu bimera biva mu mazi gishingiye ku bimenyetso. Mu gushyira icyo gikoresho mu butaka, gikusanya amakuru atandukanye (nk'ubushyuhe bw'ikirere, ubushuhe, ubukana bw'urumuri, n'imiterere y'amashanyarazi y'ubutaka) byoroshye, bigashyirwa mu buryo, kandi bikabwirwa wowe, umuhinzi.

Aramburu avuga ko ibikoresho bipima ubutaka byatuburiye kuva kera ko inyanya zacu zirimo kurohama. Intego nyayo ni ugukora ububiko bunini bw'ibimera bikura neza mu kirere, amakuru yizeye ko azakoreshwa umunsi umwe kugira ngo azane ibihe bishya by'ubuhinzi n'ubworozi burambye.

Igitekerezo cya Edin cyageze ku muhanga mu by’ubutaka mu myaka myinshi ishize ubwo yabaga muri Kenya kandi akora ku mushinga we uheruka, Biochar, ifumbire mvaruganda itangiza ibidukikije. Aramburu yabonye ko hari uburyo buke bwo gupima umusaruro w’ibicuruzwa bye uretse gupima ubutaka by’umwuga. Ikibazo cyari uko gupima ubutaka byari buhoro, bihenze kandi bitamwemereraga gukurikirana ibyabaga mu gihe nyacyo. Nuko Aramburu akora igishushanyo mbonera cy’icyuma gipima ubutaka maze atangira kugerageza ubutaka ubwe. Yagize ati: “Mu by’ukuri ni agasanduku kari ku giti. Mu by’ukuri birakwiriye gukoreshwa n’abahanga mu bya siyansi.”

Ubwo Aramburu yimukiraga i San Francisco umwaka ushize, yari azi ko kugira ngo akore ububiko bw'amakuru bwinshi yashakaga, yagombaga gutuma imiterere y'inganda za Edin irushaho kugerwaho n'abahinzi ba buri munsi. Yiyambaje Yves Behar wo muri Fuse Project, wakoze igikoresho cyiza gifite ishusho ya diyama gituruka mu butaka nk'indabyo kandi gishobora no guhuzwa n'amazi asanzwe (nk'imiyoboro cyangwa imiyoboro) kugira ngo agenzure igihe ibimera bigaburirwa.

Iyi sensor ifite microprocessor yubatswemo, kandi ihame ry'imikorere yayo ni ugusohora ibimenyetso bito by'amashanyarazi mu butaka. Yagize ati: “Mu by'ukuri twapimye ingano y'ubutaka bugabanya icyo kimenyetso.” Impinduka nyinshi zihagije mu kimenyetso (bitewe n'ubushuhe, ubushyuhe, nibindi) bizatuma iyi sensor ikohereza ubutumwa bugusaba kumenya imiterere mishya y'ubutaka. Muri icyo gihe, aya makuru, hamwe n'amakuru y'ikirere, abwira valve igihe n'igihe buri kimera kigomba kuhira.

Gukusanya amakuru ni ikintu kimwe, ariko kuyasobanukirwa ni ikibazo gitandukanye rwose. Kohereza amakuru yose y'ubutaka kuri seriveri na porogaramu. Porogaramu izakubwira igihe ubutaka butose cyane cyangwa bufite aside nyinshi, igufashe gusobanukirwa imiterere y'ubutaka, kandi igufashe kuvura.

Niba abahinzi basanzwe cyangwa abahinzi bato b’ibikomoka ku bimera babyitabira, bishobora gutuma umusaruro w’ibiribwa byo mu gace ubonekamo urushaho kwiyongera kandi mu by’ukuri bikagira ingaruka ku itangwa ry’ibiribwa. Aramburu yagize ati: “Dusanzwe dukora akazi kabi ko kugaburira isi, kandi bizarushaho kugorana.” “Nizeye ko iki kizaba igikoresho cy’iterambere ry’ubuhinzi ku isi yose, gifasha abantu guhinga ibyo kurya byabo no kunoza umutekano w’ibiribwa.”
