What’s currently going on at basin digitization enabler BWI? On this frequently updated newsroom page, you’ll find an overview of all our continental freshwater highlights, hydrological product announcements, participation to future and past events.
For instance, you can be assured we’ll highlight new product features, for example on how virtual stations for hydrology extend to now hydrological criteria or expand to new geographies, and make release announcements whenever possible. We also like to talk about hydrology or new space trade shows or industry gatherings we attend, conferences and networking meetups we organize such as the Apéro de l’Hydro series. We may also publish columns to disclose our opinion on issues that matter in continental hydrology, basin digitization and climate change-related events such as droughts and floods.
Last but not least, we also like to feature our business and institutional partners, and all those who make BWI possible. So, whether you’re a client, a supplier, a channel partner (integrators, resellers), a contractor, a shareholder, an industry federation, a regional cluster, or a regulator, feel free to ask your Blue Water Intelligence contact point to share your announcements here so you become visible to our community. Also, if you would like BWI’s take on a specific topic, please let us know and we’ll most probably go in your direction if it’s about continental hydrology!

As sea levels rise and freshwater scarcity intensifies, the salinity wedge—the subtle intrusion of seawater into freshwater systems—has become a silent threat to global water security. Monitoring its movement helps protect drinking water sources, safeguard agriculture, and guide resilient coastal water management strategies in a changing climate.

Flood early warning systems have a long and impactful history, evolving from simple local measures to sophisticated global networks. Famous success stories in Bangladesh, Uganda, and the Hindu Kush Himalayas show how community action and technology work together to protect lives. The central lesson: empowering people with timely alerts turns disaster response from devastation to resilience, with practical benefits for vulnerable populations worldwide.

South Asia faces a hydrological crisis of unprecedented scale—one that is reshaping lives, economies, and geopolitics throughout the region. In 2025, catastrophic floods uprooted millions in Pakistan and India, while drought and water shortages deepened hardship in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. These mounting challenges are fueled by Himalayan glacier melt, unpredictable monsoons, and outdated water-sharing agreements. As surface water dwindles, groundwater is being over-extracted—yet urban and rural communities alike continue to struggle in the search for safe, reliable supplies. Blue Water Intelligence explores how South Asian nations are adapting to the new water reality, and why collaborative solutions have never been more critical for the region’s future.
