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!

Imagine a mountain bathtub suddenly bursting, unleashing a torrent of water, mud, and rocks that obliterates villages and dams downstream. That’s a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) – and warming glaciers are creating more of them across the Himalayas. From Sikkim’s 2023 cascade to Himachal’s ticking lakes, learn the simple science, real impacts, and how BWI’s satellite-driven forecasts help authorities stay ahead. Discover why proactive basin intelligence is key to taming these floods.

In water science, hydraulics and hydrology are often mentioned together — but they’re not the same. Hydraulics governs how water moves through engineered systems, while hydrology explains how precipitation across a basin becomes the inflow that feeds them. At Blue Water Intelligence, we bring these two worlds together — combining data-driven hydrological forecasting with precise hydraulic modeling to help operators move from reactive water management to predictive intelligence.
