Fish farming faces critical hydrological challenges including fluctuating water quality, unpredictable water supply, and flood risks—threats that impact fish health and production yields. AI-driven river flow forecasts offer game-changing solutions by empowering farmers with timely insights to manage water resources, mitigate flood damage, and optimize aquaculture operations, paving the way for a more resilient and productive fish farming industry.

The Volta River Basin, spanning six West African countries, is an intricate water system vital for millions of people. This blog post delves into the basin’s hydrological characteristics, its pressing challenges including extreme drought and flood hotspots, and the profound effects of large dams like Akosombo and Bagre on river flow. Highlighting inspiring examples of community-driven water management initiatives, the post showcases how local and transboundary governance efforts are helping to navigate environmental uncertainties and build climate resilience. Read on to understand how sustainable approaches are shaping the future of water resources and livelihoods in the Volta Basin.

Continental hydrology plays a crucial role in coastal and marine economies by delivering freshwater, nutrients, and sediments from rivers and inland sources to coastal waters. This input sustains marine ecosystems, supports fisheries and aquaculture industries, enhances tourism, and helps protect coastlines from erosion and flooding, reinforcing the socio-economic vitality of coastal regions.

Understanding the branching hierarchy and flow dynamics of rivers is essential for effective water resource management. This post unpacks the Strahler and Shreve stream orders, compares their uses, and highlights how these systems inform hydrological modeling and practical applications for agencies, hydropower, insurers, and irrigation stakeholders worldwide.

Mountains are much more than majestic landscapes—they are essential lifelines for billions of people worldwide. Often called the “water towers of the world,” mountains store freshwater in their glaciers and snowpacks, releasing it gradually to nurture rivers and supply drinking water, agriculture, and hydropower. From the towering Himalayas that feed the Indus and Ganges to the Alpine peaks powering European hydropower, these high places shape our water security in countless ways. Yet, this natural bounty is under threat. Climate change is accelerating glacier melt and altering rainfall patterns, putting millions at risk of water shortages. The challenge now is to protect these vital mountain waters through cooperation, innovation, and sustainable management for the future.

On October 16, 2025, Blue Water Intelligence (BWI) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with INRM Consultants to jointly deploy hydrological forecasting and basin digitization services across Indian watersheds.

In the latest episode of the podcast series The Climate Pioneers Show, our CEO Jérémy Fain sat down with host Cherry Swayne to share how BWI is contributing to climate resilience through water intelligence.
