Given the urgent need to improve water governance on a global scale, HydroVenture wants to combine space data and hydrological field data (in-situ data) for real-time measurement and management of continental hydrological systems.
The water market is constantly growing, generating a wide range of demands.
HydroVenture is a public-private initiative that aims at meeting the needs of private companies, national services and international organisations involved in water resources management.
The Hydroventure service will provide new products and services for monitoring, modelling and managing the world’s water resources in real time. It will offer in-depth analyses and forecasts to serve applications such as water stocks monitoring, floods and droughts prevention, or water quality monitoring.
Through a large alliance of partners, HydroVenture wants to create a Hydrology Digital Twin of the Earth and aims at contributing to the ambitions of the European environmental programmes like Copernicus and DestinE, providing inputs to the Early Warning Systems and contributing to meeting the United Nations’SDGs .
