					<title>Big Data Helps City of Dublin Improve its Public Bus Transportation Network and Reduce Congestion</title>
					<link><![CDATA[http://www.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/41068.wss]]></link>
					<description><![CDATA[
					Today IBM announced it is helping the City of Dublin use Big Data to identify and solve the root causes of traffic congestion in its public transport network throughout the city, which means improved traffic flow and better mobility for commuters. Integrating data from a citywide network of sensors with geospatial data means that city officials are able to better monitor and manage traffic in real time.

					<title>IBM Taps Big Data to Help Solve Water Challenges Across South Africa</title>
					<link><![CDATA[http://www.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/40705.wss]]></link>
					<description><![CDATA[
					IBM marks World Water Day with the launch of a crowdsoucing project to help capture, share and analyze information about the water distribution system in South Africa.  The project, called “WaterWatchers,” is driven by a new mobile phone application and SMS capability that will enable South African citizens to report water leaks, faulty water pipes and general conditions of water canals. Every update will provide vital data points to an aggregated WaterWatchers report to create a single view of the issues challenging South Africa’s water distribution system.
