On 4-5 June 2026, BWI attended Forum by Aerospace Valley 2026 in Biarritz to discuss Earth observation, hydrological forecasting and the future of water intelligence.

BWI’s hydrological model for the La Dordogne catchment at Domme achieves a catchment-area-weighted mean NNSE of 0.88 on the testing dataset (May 2025 – May 2026) — the highest area-weighted score across BWI’s published performance reports to date. Of 27 validated stations, 25 exceed the deployment threshold of NNSE 0.65, and 19 exceed NNSE 0.80. Performance at station level is highly variable however, with a standard deviation of 0.17 — a localised outlier discussed below.

On April 8, 2026, the Indo-French Climate Resilience Seminar at IIT Delhi brought together public institutions, researchers and industry leaders to address the growing climate challenges in the Himalayan region. Through three panel discussions, the event highlighted the urgent need to strengthen hydrological forecasting, early warning systems and integrated water–energy–food resilience approaches.

With the release of v2.14, Blue Water Intelligence continues to strengthen the performance and reach of its hydrological forecasting service. This update focuses on a key improvement: significantly faster access to forecasts, alongside expanded geographic coverage and ongoing model enhancements.

We’re pleased to welcome Hanbing Peng, Precise Orbit Determination Specialist at BWI. With a strong background in geoscience and satellite navigation, Hanbing contributes to the REVALTO satellite mission by ensuring highly accurate orbit determination – a key element for reliable Earth observation data.

We’re pleased to welcome Bassam Chehade, Signal Processing Engineer at BWI. With a PhD in SAR imaging and extensive experience in remote sensing and radar signal processing, Bassam contributes to the REVALTO satellite mission by transforming radar measurements into meaningful geophysical parameters used to monitor inland waters.

BWI participated in the first edition of the Eau & IA Congress in Grenoble, organized by the Société Hydrotechnique de France. Three days of exchanges at the intersection of water, data and artificial intelligence.

We’re pleased to welcome François Verdeil, Signal Processing Engineer at BWI. With around ten years of experience in signal processing and a recent specialization in radar signal processing, François contributes to the REVALTO satellite mission by transforming raw radar measurements into usable data for hydrological analysis.

We’re pleased to welcome Thibault Lebeke, Industrial Manager at BWI. With over 10 years of experience in spacecraft engineering and a strong background in flight dynamics and system coordination, Thibault contributes to the REVALTO mission by managing industrial partners and technical interfaces – ensuring high-quality space data to power advanced hydrological forecasting.
