The aim of river basin digitization is to create a detailed digital representation of the basin and its associated water resources, allowing for better understanding, management, and decision-making.

The latest article in BWI’s “Exploring the Hydrology” series delves into the beautiful country of Nepal and it’s hydrological riches.

In this article, we explore the significance and challenges of prominent Indian river basins like the Ganges, Godavari, Krishna, Cauvery, Indus, and Brahmaputra.

Explore the subject of virtual stations, a cutting-edge integration of perspectives, revolutionizing hydrological and meteorological forecasts!

Floods impact millions of people all over the world, and with flood forecasting taking centre stage, let’s explore how crucial river discharge forecasts are in this context.

In a world where most activities are dependent on water, river water discharge information can be used to solve a wide variety of issues across numerous domains.

The concept of SMASH shows that a constellation of 10 nano-satellites with nadir altimeters on a single sun-synchronous orbit can provide a daily measure of water levels at rivers wider than 50 m and lakes larger than 100 m x 100 m. Blue Water Intelligence (BWI) plans to launch a minimum viable product of 2 satellites to validate assumptions, followed by a constellation of 10 nanosatellites – all following the SMASH concept to the letter.
