Forecasting services for public authorities

Services to forecast water levels, volumes and water quality of water bodies, and to predict river discharge.

Flood and drought early warning system

Inland water forecasts for public authorities

Continuous inland water hazard monitoring

BWI brings together data from ground stations, remote sensors (satellites, precipitation radars…) and weather forecasts to compile accurate predictions of floods and droughts.

Melting together different modelling approaches

Physical models relying on DEMs, hydrological models and machine learning enable for the acceleration of climate change to be taken into account in BWI’s forecasts.

Forecasts and early warning

Threatened areas identification (based on water levels and river discharge) and multi-channel targeted flood early warning systems are actionable depending on risk (population and infrastructure).

Water body surveillance

Monitoring of the quantitative state of water reserves

BWI continuously reports on current water levels and volumes of surface water bodies.

Water reserve variation predictions

Continuous predictions about the variability of your reserves: evaporation, natural refills of water reserves from rain and snowfall,…

Water quality monitoring of water reserves

BWI monitors water quality indicators such as: water temperature, turbidity, algae bloom,… and provides alerts whenever risk thresholds are met as well as simulations on the potential propagation of the pollution towards sensitive areas.

Water hazards forecasts and warnings are delivered via an API

Integrate within your existing hydrographic network monitoring systems

Integrating data to your existing websites and hydraulic and hydrologic information systems is made smooth thanks to BWI’s well-documented API.

Water hazards stakeholder dissemination tools

Stakeholder communication tools include automated newsletters, but also a web portal that can either be made public or kept private.
