Know where the water is, where it's going, and when it turns dangerous.

Floods, drought, groundwater, and water quality — forecast early and monitored by communities.

§ the problem

Too much, too little, or unsafe — water is the first crisis.

Floods, drought, vanishing groundwater, and contaminated supplies hit the most vulnerable first. Naturecode forecasts floods days ahead, tracks groundwater and drought from space, and lets communities monitor and prove the quality of their own water.

§ 01 · intelligence

Forecasting floods, drought, and quality

Agents forecast floods days ahead, track groundwater and drought from space, and flag water-quality hazards before they reach people.

01

Flood forecasting

AI river and flash-flood forecasting now reaches over 150 countries with up to seven days of lead time — surfaced as alerts for the communities in the path.

02

Groundwater & drought

Satellite gravity measurements reveal aquifer depletion and drought stress invisible from the ground.

NASA GRACE-FO
03

Water quality from space

Satellite signals detect algal blooms and turbidity, flagging unsafe water before it's consumed.

EPA CyAN
04

Leak & efficiency detection

Sensor and meter data, read by AI, find leaks and cut the water lost before it ever reaches a tap.

§ 02 · provenance

Trusted readings, automatic relief

Community water readings are recorded with proof, and drought or flood triggers automatic, satellite-verified relief.

01

Attested water quality

Community water-quality readings are recorded with a tamper-evident trail, so a clean-water claim can be trusted.

02

Parametric drought & flood relief

When satellite data confirms drought or flood, smart-contract insurance releases relief automatically to those affected.

03

Shared allocation

Communities, farmers, and authorities co-decide water allocation against a transparent, shared record.

§ 03 · open

Built on open water data

Naturecode builds on the authoritative open water datasets and contributes community readings back.

01

Global surface water

Open maps of where surface water is and how it has changed over decades anchor the water record.

02

Evapotranspiration & water use

Open satellite evapotranspiration data reveals how much water crops and landscapes actually consume.

OpenET · FAO WaPOR
03

Rainfall & hydrography

Open rainfall records and river-network data make basin-scale drought and flood analysis possible anywhere.

CHIRPS · HydroSHEDS
§ 04 · programs

Water monitoring, community-run

Naturecode equips communities to monitor their own water and trains agencies to run satellite drought and flood monitoring.

01

Citizen-science networks

Low-cost sensors and phone-based tools let communities monitor water quality and level where official data is thin.

02

Agency training

National water and disaster agencies are trained to operate satellite drought and flood monitoring — the model proven by FAO's water-productivity programs.

FAO WaPOR
03

Early-action funding

Forecasts trigger funding for action before a flood or drought hits, not after.
