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!

Dry valleys can kill: parched soils turn rain into sudden, destructive flash floods. Pakistan, the Sahel/Horn countries, and several Gulf and Middle Eastern states top the list of places where dry-valley floods have repeatedly caused the most human harm.

Yemen has no permanent rivers, yet its dry valleys, wadis, turn into deadly flash floods during intense rainy seasons, destroying homes, killing dozens, and displacing tens of thousands. This post explains how Yemen’s unique hydrology works, why floods are so destructive in a war‑stricken, climate‑vulnerable country, and what it means for water security and flood risk management.

Hydropower is entering a more demanding phase. For executives, the central issue is no longer whether hydropower can deliver energy but whether hydropower assets can be managed as basin infrastructure that strengthens grid resilience, water security, and downstream system performance.
