Resolving the catchment
Accurate hydrology starts with accurate meteorology. In mountainous or complex terrain, coarse models smooth out the peaks, drastically underestimating "orographic enhancement"—where mountains force air up, squeezing out more rain.
Weatherwise models terrain at 200m to 1km resolution. We capture the vertical physics that drive intense localized rainfall. For water managers, this means the inputs to your hydrological models finally match the reality of your watershed, reducing the error in streamflow predictions.
Flood Forecasting & Reservoir Safety
Flood risks are often local and rapid.
- Flash Floods: By resolving convective storms explicitly, we predict high-intensity rainfall events that trigger flash floods in small, steep catchments.
- Reservoir Ops: We provide precise inflow forecasts, allowing operators to manage spillway releases safely. Knowing exactly how much rain will fall upstream allows you to maximize storage without compromising safety.

Evaporation, irrigation and reservoir management
In water-scarce regions, every drop counts. Evaporation rates are driven by solar radiation, wind speed, and humidity—all of which vary locally.
Our physics-based models calculate surface energy balances explicitly. We provide high-resolution data on evapotranspiration rates for reservoirs and agricultural basins. This supports long-term resource planning and drought monitoring, ensuring water is allocated efficiently.

From hindcast to operational flow
Calibrating hydrological models requires reliable history. Our Hindcast service reconstructs past weather events over your specific catchments, allowing you to fine-tune your rainfall-runoff models against historical stream gauge data.
For operations, our API can deliver 1-minute forecast outputs directly to your modeling software. Whether you are managing a municipal water supply or a hydroelectric complex, you get the high-definition precipitation data needed to run your systems with confidence.
