The National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training in Adelaide, Australia has joined with Vista Clara Inc. to deliver a three-day, hands-on workshop focused on the application of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technologies for groundwater investigations. The course will be led by Dr David Walsh, President of Vista Clara Inc. and a leading developer of NMR geophysical instrumentation. ...
As climate change threatens food and water security globally, scientists increasingly look to artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help farmers face mounting agricultural challenges. In a major step towards scaling these solutions, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), in partnership with the Gates Foundation, launched an AI Ecosystem for Global Agricultural Development in December 2025. The ...
We are delighted to announce the launch of TruMet PW100, our first infrared Optical Rain Gauge. For decades, rainfall measurement has relied on mechanical tipping bucket gauges. While trusted, these systems are prone to clogging, mechanical drift (requiring frequent calibration for reliable data), and under-counting during high-intensity rainfall, leading to maintenance demands and data ...
This successful delivery marks a significant step forward for the SUNMOY brand in its expansion into the Southeast Asian market. The SUNMOY HG300D model drilling rig is renowned for its powerful drilling capabilities, excellent stability, and high adaptability, making it particularly suitable for mineral exploration, hydrological drilling, and engineering ...
At Cairo Water Week (CWW) 2025, held from October 12-16, science, policy and innovation came together to confront one of the Middle East and North Africa’s (MENA) most pressing challenges: water scarcity. This year’s theme - Innovative Solutions for Climate Resilience and Water Sustainability - carried particular weight in the world’s most water-scarce region. Leading ten ...
Their objective was to capture drone imagery and river sensor data to build a digital twin of the region’s hydrological system - a virtual model that simulates water flows, forecasts flood risks and supports emergency planning - partnering with the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and the Somali Regional Government to implement and advance our research ...
Experts agree that global warming is the main cause of more frequent and intense flooding. According to data published by Oxfam Intermón, the number of disasters caused by floods and droughts in the ten most affected countries has increased dramatically, from 24 in 2013 to 656 in just ten years. In this context, the key to minimizing flood impact lies in proper risk management encompassing ...

The United Kingdom’s Minister for the Indo-Pacific, Catherine West, and the High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, Andrew Patrick, met with local community representatives and researchers from the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) to discuss ongoing efforts to improve groundwater management in the Jaffna Peninsula in northern Sri Lanka. On January 28, 2025, West launched the citizen ...
The International Water Management Institute (IWMI), in collaboration with the Central Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (CDHM) at the Tribhuvan University conducted a three-day SWAT+ hydrological modelling of the Karnali River basin in November 2024. The training was conducted as part of extended collaboration between IWMI and CDHM to ...
Early warning systems have become an essential ally in the Middle East, where extreme events such as floods have become more frequent in recent years. In April, the United Arab Emirates experienced one of the worst weather events in its history, with 254 liters of rainfall per square meter in just 24 hours. Dubai airport, one of the busiest hubs in the world which registered almost 45 million ...

The International Water Management Institute (IWMI) handed over a prototype digital twin of the Limpopo River Basin in Africa to the Limpopo Water Course Commission (LIMCOM) on October 30, 2024, in Maseru, Lesotho. LIMCOM, which represents the four nations sharing the river basin – South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique – will have access to the prototype’s portal ...
The assessment found a need for more observed discharge data. Strengthening the hydrological modeling landscape across Africa requires enhanced monitoring networks and collaborative data-sharing agreements between countries. Training local researchers, water managers, and decision-makers in the latest modelling techniques and fostering ...
A workshop, organized by the International Water Management Institute, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and the Institute for Water Modelling (IWM) Bangladesh, focused on using local-scale hydrological modeling to forecast salinity and inform agricultural decisions. The workshop aimed to develop a collaborative approach using ...
Droughts. Floods. Pollution. Melting ice. Rising sea levels. These are some of the consequences of climate change. We are immersed in one of the greatest challenges, if not the greatest, of the 21st century. However, speaking of this century is synonymous with Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is profoundly transforming the way we interact with technology. Given our situation, we cannot ...
The NOAA’s National Weather Service provides weather, hydrologic, and climate forecasts and warnings for the United States, its territories, adjacent waters and ocean areas, for the protection of life and property and the enhancement of the national economy. A few months ago, we explored the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Fall 2023 Predictions. As we bid ...
MODFLOW-6 is the newest core version of the groundwater flow code developed by the MODFLOW team at the US Geological Survey (USGS) and collaborating industry leaders. ...
In addition to Stand Count (including Male/Female Stand Count), Crop Health, and Tassel Count (including Male/Female Tassel Count) analytics available today, new FieldInsights analytics include: Canopy Cover, identifying green vegetation to characterize growth stage and development Crop Area, digitally tracking field borders for seed production to minimize the risk of genetic drift ...
(SCW), a Water and Drainage Software Platform is excited to announce the launch of VO-SWMM, a robust tool that combines the capabilities of the EPA-SWMM and OTTHYMO to form a reliable hydrology and hydraulic modelling engine. Water and drainage engineers in need of insights in water and drainage management have new software for their toolbox with Smart City ...
This conference aims to address topics related to modelling the climate system and the interface with the land surface processes and hydrological impacts of climate change. ...
Data collected from the sensors are automatically sent to the Iowa Flood Information System (IFIS), where the real time monitoring information is integrated into an advanced hydrological model. System data and river stage hydrographs are shared with the public and emergency management officials. ...
