Water discharge forecast, hydrological studies and snow monitoring.
Waterjade is a customised prediction service based on the hydraulic configuration of a specific plant and the characteristics of the upstream catchment. Furthermore, it is a team of professionals who support customers in data interpretation.
Thanks to Waterjade we respond promptly to our customers’ needs in terms of accuracy and forecasting horizon.
Thanks to our technology, we provide a complete picture of current and future water availability in the catchment area. With Waterjade, companies are offered:
Weather forecasts alone cannot provide water supply forecasts. The flow rate in watercourses is the result of a complex hydrological balance involving rain, snow, evapo-transpiration and groundwater.
Rising temperatures induced by climate change have raised the snow line and changed precipitation intensity. As a result, mean historical inflows are outdated and no longer representative of the current climate.
Relying on pure empirical and simplified methods may result in serious inefficiencies and risky consequences.
Waterjade adapts data analysis and forecasting procedures to the changing climate and addresses all activities in need of water for daily operations.
The catchment area may include snow-covered mountainous areas, river networks, vegetation and anthropic structures such as dams or pipelines. Modelling reality requires simplifications and schematisations.
Once the basin has been outlined, it is possible to go deeper by taking into account specific hydraulic schemes: intakes, piping and reservoir networks.
Waterjade’s services are used by the second, third and fourth largest Italian hydroelectric power producer. Waterjade is also a pilot project in Guatemala.
We have a pilot project underway to optimise water management in the reservoirs and supply the Seville metropolitan area.
