Hydrological forecasts for irrigation and agri-food

Comprehensive hydrological decision making system for irrigation and agri-food industries.

Irrigation

Optimized water monitoring system 

Real-time data and forecasts

BWI provides near real-time river discharge data and forecasts, contributing to a wide range of irrigation and food industry needs! As water is of utmost importance, having access to hydrological forecasts would lead to building water resilience. 

Optimal pumping indicator

By providing accurate and timely river flow forecasts and expert advice on optimal pumping times, we enable users to make informed decisions crucial to effective water management.

Tailored services for agriculture and irrigation

Our service is tailored to fulfill particular key performance indicators associated with water efficiency, crop yield, and resource utilization. Through continuous monitoring and adjustment to fluctuating hydrological conditions, users can achieve and surpass their predefined performance benchmarks.

Enhanced food security 

BWI integrates data from in-situ stations, remote sensors (satellites, precipitation radars…) and meteorological forecasts to derive accurate drought forecasts, thereby enhancing food security and resilience to natural disasters. 

Enhancing sustainability 

Understand the impact of climate change on the availability of water resources

A balanced habitat

Water pumping practices over several river basins are not well regulated. Especially over-extraction at times of low river discharge exacerbates the ecosystem’s health. BWI’s services aim to aid in creating a balanced habitat for all organisms by providing accurate hydrological forecasts leading to better water management practices.

Water replenishment

Thanks to BWI’s forecasts, at times of low river discharge, water can be replenished in order to ensure ecosystem-friendly levels. Consequently, it aids in preventing other adverse consequences related to biodiversity.

Water quality sustenance

Poor quality of water during the times of low discharge levels lead to degradation of the habitat, compromised biodiversity, and threats to the sustenance of the nearby communities. Therefore, by providing discharge forecasts, we aim to counteract this issue.

Get river flow and water level forecasts

BWI specializes in providing near real-time estimates and forecasts of inland surface water bodies around the globe. It combines in-situ data, spaceborne observations, and machine learning to feed and empower hydrological and hydrodynamical models. Through an online, subscription-based service, BWI aims to make scalable – across space and time – hydrological software to address climate change-induced water stress.
