Scaling Up Your Insights: An Early Warning for Water Resilience in a Changing Climate

Critical water availability intelligence, reported on a monthly basis as decision-ready information for all available surface water bodies, in direct support of sustainable water resource management and climate risk mitigation.

In WaterSphere360® we provide a first-of-its-kind, unique globally scalable information service that offers water resource managers and water-use communities with easy to access, up-to-date intelligence (every month) on the status of available water resources.

This unique service, utilizing advanced Earth Observation technologies, produces invaluable intelligence on the location and volumetric quantification of surface water resources – complimented by water quality, precipitation, and ground-water status indicators – enabling historical, current and future water resource conditions to be determined, monitored and predicted, using a single, integrated service.

What We Do

Collectively or individually these products provide need-appropriate information for both planning (i.e., long-term) and operations (i.e., short-term) levels of management.

WaterSphere360 Overview

Our operationally proven monthly water monitoring service generates affordable, user-ready, up-to-date water resource status information encompassing the full water landscape from precipitation input, water location, and extent, storage volumes, and associated environmental impacts; and provides direct support to water management and planning activities. This unique service is easily accessible via web-based information dashboards, through which information can be accessed and downloaded in a variety of formats according to user preference, ranging from report-ready content to GIS-compatible digital data.

Advantages of WaterSphere360

Enhanced operational water resource management

Quantifiable water resource intelligence, every month, across the full extent of your target area.

Cost-effective to set-up and run, compared to a network of field-based instrumentation.

Requires only web-connectivity to access and benefit from the service.

Provides direct support to both geospatially
enabled and non-geospatial end-user communities.

Rapid implementation over new monitoring areas, regardless of location or extent.

Supporting Long-Term Planning
