Flood forecasting and early warning
Daily river forecasts that end in a clear Watch or Warning.
Rivers rise faster than warnings travel. Forecast products exist, but most are maps and probabilities that nobody on the ground has time to interpret.
Our solutionKAI-Hydro runs a daily forecast for your river sites from rainfall forecasts and observed levels, and turns it into a plain statement: Normal, Watch or Warning, with the expected peak and its date. Alerts go out by email or SMS when a threshold is forecast.
Who it is for: Districts, utilities, humanitarian agencies, insurers, developers
- Lead time measured in days, not hours
- Thresholds agreed with you, not imposed
- Plain words, not probability maps
- Forecast skill reported every month
