Find the latest news on hydrology, flood / drought risk prevention, recent news from vorteX-io and the MAELSTROM® hydrological data platform.
The combined integration of satellite and in-situ data provides a comprehensive and accurate view of hydrological systems and processes. This integrated approach is essential for sustainably managing the resource.
The “Space hydrology: qualitative and quantitative management of surface water” project, supported by the France 2030 investment plan, was officially launched a few weeks ago on the initiative of the French Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion and CNES. VorteX-io is one of the winners of a call for tenders concerning the use of spatial data for water monitoring and management.
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.
Get real time hyperlocal water metrics for smarter data-driven risk management.
Simple, efficient, cost-effective.
