Water

Managing water from space is a smarter approach.

By leveraging satellite technology for water quality monitoring, organisations can more effectively oversee and manage critical water resources. This advanced approach supports

  • Risk management and mitigation: Proactively address potential hazards and reduce threats to assets and people.
  • Ecosystem assessment: Monitor and protect aquatic ecosystems with precision.
  • Compliance with environmental regulations: Meet legal requirements with reliable, data-driven evidence.
  • Safeguarding public health: Ensure safe drinking water and recreational waters for communities.
  • Evaluation of management interventions: Track the impact of restoration or improvement initiatives.
  • Emergency planning: Quickly identify and respond to urgent water-related issues.
  • Resource management: Optimise water use while protecting ecosystems.
  • Infrastructure protection: Safeguard critical assets like reservoirs and dams.

Key benefits of satellite-driven water quality monitoring

  • Instant, accessible data: Real-time insights available directly from your desktop, saving time and effort.
  • Timely alerts: Early warnings allow for rapid action and seamless communication with support teams.
  • Efficient resource management: Remote observation reduces the need for on-site staff, enhancing safety, cutting costs, and minimising risks to personnel.
  • Improved safety: Ensure reservoirs and water supplies meet safety standards, protecting public health.
  • Public confidence: Demonstrate that bathing waters are safe, fostering trust and reassurance within communities.
