From flooding frustrations to innovative solutions, Matter's cutting-edge technology is paving the way for clearer drains and brighter futures, one storm at a time.

  • Floods, exacerbated by climate change and urban growth, strain drainage systems like stormwater pits, leading to property damage and environmental harm.
  • Matter, founded in 2018 by Len Luxford, offers a solution to prevent drain overflow and improve stormwater drainage efficiency using modern technology.
  • Len Luxford's initiative stems from a long-standing problem with flooding, prompting him to develop a system to monitor water flow in drains during storms.
  • Matter's system measures water levels in stormwater drains and reports findings to maintenance organizations, aiding in preventing overflow.
  • Incorporating advancements like AI, Matter enhances its ability to assess the health of individual drains and predict their performance in extreme weather.
  • Matter's patented technology, developed in Australia, holds promise for broader applications beyond stormwater management, benefiting wastewater management organizations nationwide.
  • Looking ahead, Matter plans to leverage its technology for global water management challenges, ensuring stormwater drains remain clear and functional to safeguard communities.
