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!

Water security is no longer just about supply. In the Mediterranean and beyond, the real challenge is the water trilemma: too little water, too much water, and too much pollution. The answer lies in combining governance, finance, technology, and local participation into one connected system.

Water scarcity threatens 45 percent of global GDP by 2050. Forty-one utilities across 24 countries reveal their top struggles: non-revenue water, service reliability, and climate vulnerability. This article exposes the urgent water crisis and why operational decision support-not just data-is the gap utilities desperately need filled.

Transboundary basins are where water security, politics, and livelihoods meet under pressure. This post explores 10 high-stakes examples, from the Indus and Nile to the Mekong, Jordan, and Euphrates-Tigris, showing why cooperation over shared waters has never mattered more.

Uzbekistan’s hydrology is shaped by scarcity, transboundary dependence, and the long legacy of the Aral Sea basin. With agriculture consuming most withdrawals and river flows under growing climate pressure, better basin-scale data and forecasts is becoming essential for water security.

At GeoField 2026 in Rome, BWI explores how river basin digitization and river flow forecasting can improve irrigation dispatch, strengthen water efficiency, and help basin managers balance agriculture with energy, industry, drinking water, and ecosystem needs.

Pakistan’s hydrology is a story of contrasts: glacier-fed rivers, monsoon surges, heavily managed plains, and a fragile delta. This article explores how the country’s river basins behave, what is changing, and how basin digitization can help build a more resilient water future.

The Aral Sea was once the fourth-largest lake on Earth; today, it is a fragmented shadow of itself, with 90% of its water gone. This post explains how Soviet-era irrigation for cotton starved the sea, triggered ecological collapse, and turned a thriving fishing region into a dust-choked wasteland. You’ll see how policy choices, not nature, drove one of the worst environmental catastrophes of the last century, and what limited recovery looks like today.
