By integrating the surface velocity field, water height, and stream geometry, vorteX-io develops its own stream flow calculation tool, a major step towards reducing vulnerability to water-related hazards.

The alternation between droughts and floods creates a vicious circle in which periods of drought can accentuate the risk of flooding, and vice versa, amplifying the devastating impacts on the continent’s populations and ecosystems.
vorteX-io is leading a major project to measure river water quality using large-scale remote sensing with CNES and OFB.
When the climate gets out of control and drought and heatwaves combine, large-scale forest fires are unfortunately not the only risks to the natural environment. Aquatic areas and wetlands also suffer from this situation, sometimes dramatically.
