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.

Climate change is intensifying 9 major flood hazards worldwide. From river flooding to GLOF, discover which threats impact your region and why early warning saves lives.

Water is now a strategic variable that shapes performance, resilience, and investment decisions. BWI helps organizations turn fragmented hydrological data into actionable river-flow forecasts and basin-wide intelligence, even in ungauged or data-sparse basins.

BWI is not replacing weather forecasts with kriging, but correcting and densifying them at the basin scale using connected ground sensors. That makes the hydrological model more sensitive to the rainfall that actually falls on the catchment, which is the main reason kriging is valuable for small basins with high spatial variability.

Blue Water Intelligence proudly celebrates the distinction of its President, Philippe Gautier, who has been awarded the Légion d’Honneur in recognition of a lifetime of service, leadership, and commitment to innovation.

Europe is putting water at the center of resilience, competitiveness, and climate adaptation. For BWI, the EU Water Resilience Strategy confirms that data-driven monitoring and smarter basin management are becoming essential.

The Godavari basin is one of India’s most strategically important freshwater systems. It supports roughly 76 million people, sustains major agricultural economies across five Indian states, and functions in practice as a transboundary basin where upstream and downstream decisions made in one state reshape water security in another.

For BWI, the Godavari is best understood not as a single river, but as a complex water economy under stress. Its core challenge is not simply scarcity or abundance, but volatility: too much water in some places and seasons, too little in others, and not enough reliable intelligence to manage the system as a whole.

With the release of v2.14, Blue Water Intelligence continues to strengthen the performance and reach of its hydrological forecasting service. This update focuses on a key improvement: significantly faster access to forecasts, alongside expanded geographic coverage and ongoing model enhancements.

BWI powers continental river flow forecasting delving on EU Data Foundation as many of the data sources BWI uses come from Copernicus, EU’s Earth Observation Programme, which offers information services that draw from satellite Earth Observation and in-situ data.

We’re pleased to welcome Hanbing Peng, Precise Orbit Determination Specialist at BWI. With a strong background in geoscience and satellite navigation, Hanbing contributes to the REVALTO satellite mission by ensuring highly accurate orbit determination – a key element for reliable Earth observation data.
